Notes

I started with some bare roving, a lovely merino and silk blend. It shimmers… spun or unspun! I first dyed it using aqua and amethyst, but it left too much white… more than I wanted. So I overdyed it with amazon green and it achieved this lovely saturated colour. I also dyed some fingering weight yarn with emerald green and that was what I used for the warp. The handspun is the weft.

Finished size is 12.5” by 63” with 5” twisted fringe. 152 ends.
