Merino/Tussah Blend Yarn

A gorgeous skein of meridon/tussah blend top spun worsted and plied to a sport weight yarn.

Date: 2005-08-27 thru 2005-08-29
Fiber Source:
Merino and Tussah Silk Blend given as sample in Spinning II class from Shuttles, Spindles and Skeins (Ashland Bay's Mackenzie)
Weight: 0.4 oz
Length: ~ 32 yds
Ply: 2-Ply
Set Method: Wet Set & Dried with Weight
WPI: ??
Gauge: ?? (sport perhaps)

Notes: This hank is gorgeous and has a lovely sheen from the silk content. I must get some similar blend!. It was an exercise in worsted draw for me as I struggled with that during the spinning class. I was finally getting the hang of it when spinning this hank and I'm quite happy with the consistency in this hank and in the plying.

See my knit warmlet (a cross between a bracelet and a wrist warmer) made from this yarn!
