It's so great when you can learn new stuff!!
Finished plying the yarn above (well the larger 190 yd skeins) and ... like most of us..had some yarn left over. I usually sigh and walk away telling myself I'll be back to "take care of that later" but I've been on a mission to clean up all lurking fiber in this room....so...hmmm
ok....the obvious is just keep it as a single, skein it off, wash it and there ya go. But then I thought about navajo plying. Now I've tried this technique before, and did NOT find it relaxing (quite the opposite sadly), but what the heck...the color of the stuff that was left is awful....there wasn't that much there....so....who cares if it turns out badly............and I won't be stuck here doing it for long.
Did a little research, came upon a different way of doing this, and WOW...I love this technique now. It's amazing what a different angle on thought processes can do. So I decided this would be the perfect thing for today's blog post. Not alot of the yellow (thankfully) - only about 35 yds of the 3 ply...but perhaps someone somewhere can use it for SOMEthing.
