I love the colors in this braid, the purples, plums and chocolate browns, and I knew that I wanted to use it for a shawl at some point. With that in mind, I decided to keep this as a single ply yarn and keep those colors very distinct.
I didn't really do any prep with this fiber. I spun the braid from end to end, trying to keep a nice twist balance - enough to have it hold together solidly, but not so much it became kinked.
Technical Specs:
Roving: 4 oz of BFL roving from Two If by Hand.
Ply: Singles.
Weight: Light fingering weight.
Yardage: 491 yards/4 oz.
I haven't picked a pattern for it yet, but there are so many pretty ones out there for this kind of yardage, I know I'll find a good one to use!
