The long bright color repeats of the Finn singles on the left would have been muddied had I plied it onto itself. To keep the colors clear and to get a good amount of yarn, I decided to ply it with some grey Corriedale that I had on hand.
I plan to spin a another skein of solid grey to use with this marled skein. I think it will make a breathtaking shawl for next years shows. I plan to mix the two skeins in the warp and weave with the solid grey.
I will be planning next how I want to blend them in the warp to show off the long color repeats of the bright colors that I have worked so hard to preserve.
Until next time, Happy Crafting, Tina

The gray really tones down the bright colors....lovely yarn!!!
Lovely Tina! I am so enjoying my spinning time these days, and looking forward to doing a little weaving with my handspun. Thank you for the inspiration.
Please post your results. I'd love to see what you decide and how you use these skeins.
