I spun the singles up with a short backward draft/woolen technique. I slightly underplied the singles, as I wanted this to be nice and drapey for a lace shawl project (TBD, but I know that's what I want to make with this). I am not normally a red fan, but I love the gold sparkle in this and the bits of moody-broody almost-black/burnt red that are lurking under the brighter reds in this.
I'm halfway through the fiber I had earmarked for the Tour! Although today (Monday, the 13th) if officially a rest day, I'll be spinning today since I took Friday off. I'll be starting the FatCatKnits shetland wool/silk blend today.
