Fibre:<\/strong> Into the Whirled “Studio West” colourway on 60% Polwarth, 40% Tussah Silk.\u00a0 approx 12oz fibre.
\nYarn<\/strong>:\u00a0 ~419.3 yards of 3-ply, DK-weight; ~93 yds of chain-ply, leaning toward chunky weight.
\nMethod<\/strong>: Wheel spun with long draw
\nCompleted<\/strong>: October 15, 2016.<\/p>\n

I called this “Seven Seas” because it seemed like the roving had all the shades of blue and cream you might expect to see in the water.\u00a0 I absolutely loved the colour in the roving.\u00a0 I’m honestly not that thrilled with the result in the 3-ply:\u00a0 it seemed like there was cream everywhere, and it dulled down the colours of the blues.<\/p>\n
