I spun up the May Art Club batt over the holiday weekend. Nikol calls this one Boy Crazy, a combination of merino, tencel, sari silk threads and angelina. I used my Gem with the Woolee winder to spin the singles and getting the right thickness and twist was somewhat easier this time around. I plied the two bobbins on my Lendrum with the plying head. The yarn is 10 to 14 wpi, 5 oz, and about 200 yards. There is a cute button up neck warmer pattern in the latest Spin Off magazine that takes about 85 yards of yarn. This yarn will certainly make a colorful one.

Lovely colors & a neck warmer is a great idea.

Cool colors. I sure would like to see your neck warmer when you get it done.
