Celestial Yarn

 

I finished plying the Celestial singles yesterday!  Here's what the three bobbins looked like once I had finished spinning the singles.

I plied them together into a three ply and ended up with 545 yards.  It's a fingering weight again.  (I have a huge number of fingering weight patterns in my pattern library, both sweaters and shawls and socks and other accessories, so spinning a fingering weight yarn when I don't have specific plans for it just makes sense.)

I also ended up with a 39 yard mini skein of chain plied yarn.  You can see it at the top right of this picture.  This was taken before I washed the skeins because I didn't think they'd be dry in time to photograph for this morning (they aren't). 

The finished yarn reminds me of Elsa (from Frozen) or a Monet painting, if Monet was into sparkles.  It doesn't photograph well, but the finished yarn is soft and shiny (from the rose fiber) as well as sparkly (from the Stellina).  The rose also gives it a lot of drape.  I think this will probably be a shawl but I might try to spin something to go with it - maybe white or a solid.  Who knows?

Have a great weekend and stay safe!  I'll be starting another big spinning project - possibly another sweater quantity, but not as big as the last one.
