Barberpole quartet

I so enjoyed lining up my 4 singles of FoxyMaple in the espresso set I bought on a special outing with my best friend Bob 16 years ago:


This is how I stored all my singles from specific colourways throughout the Tour de Fleece, one after another as they were finished so I would know to ply 1 with 3, and 2 with 4, the better to even out any gauge changes.  I don't know how I never noticed what was obvious after I'd taken that picture and bagged the singles with their appropriate mates.


Not sure I want that particular sugar in my tea.

In unrelated news, I spent last evening spinning and then plying the brown fiber I was obsessing about yesterday.  It was awesome.  And typing that reminds me I gotta go get it out of its bath so it's dry and wound in time for Monday's KAL start!

Hi Mary, have you ever ordered from http://www.greensheep.com? They specialize in yarn that "treads lightly on our planet." I found out about them from the magazine, "Mary Jane's Farm."
