I got two 2.5-oz braids of a superwash merino/sparkle base, which are shown coiled around each other above. The "Sam" colorway is the red/black/white/yellow one, and the "Dean" colorway is the purple/black/teal/white one.
I spun each of the colorways up separately, and then I plied them together to get:
This crazy bright 2-ply yarn!
Yarn Specs:
Fiber: Superwash merino wool/nylon sparkle - 5.0 oz.
Colorway: Sam and Dean (2.5 oz of each color).
Ply: 2-ply.
Weight: Fingering weight with 504 yards and 4.9 oz in the finished skein.
I originally thought I'd make socks from this, but 504 yards is WAY more yardage than I need for socks. I might do socks AND a pair of mitts, or maybe try to figure out a really simple shawl pattern that would play nicely with this.
Next I'll be starting the last blended roving offering from my Wooly Wonka Mythical Creatures Club - Gryphons, as I'm in the mood for a little heathery/tweedy yarn to make something for the colder weather.
