SW Merino/Tencel, 2 ply, somewhere around 350 yards (I forgot to write down the yardage before I sent it away). I was going to spin this as a laceweight single, but about a quarter of the way through decided that there was too much white space to make a pretty single and that it would look much better plied. I like how it turned out.
Pattern: Making Tracks by Wendy Johnson
Yarn: my handspun, spun from Funky Carolina merino/tencel roving in Berry Dark
Needles: 2.75mm (US 2) Bryspun DPN
I made the mistake of converting this pattern from toe-up to top-down. I much prefer knitting top-down socks, and thought I had plenty of yarn to finish these socks. One of the benefits of knitting toe-up socks is being able to knit the entire foot, then knit the leg until you run out of yarn. I lost this benefit by converting the pattern, and it was a nail-biting finish. I had one yard of yarn left over, after grafting the toe closed on the second sock! These socks are a birthday gift for a friend.

Funky Carolina handspun merino/tencel sport weight in Rissa
as i spun the batt, flowers already in mind, i realized it would have been quite lovely on its own, with some nice texture from the nepps and tencel. anyways, i added some angelina and then plied with silk flowers.

This is heavy, drapey stuff! It was the first time I'd spun this blend, so there are some flubs in this skein, but the plying evened out most of them and all in all, it's a lovely skein, due mostly to the colors and the feel of it. YUM.
There is one problem I encountered with Navajo plying such a delicate fiber. You know how you have to drag the new loop through the old when you're forming it? This caused the single to fuzz up a bit.

A vintage Burda pattern, palazzo pants in a lovely Nicole Miller linen-tencel blend from Joanns. They fit well, the extra 1-1/2" added for length probably wasn't needed but it did help give a nice deep hem, just over 3". Of course, black is a bear to photograph!.
I tried different tops, and decided on the tank found buried in my closet since it was pretty warm.
I'd like to find a cropped top that is fairly close fitting in the waist to highlight the fit of the pants.
These can easily be dressed up or down. And are super comfy, even though they are high waisted.
The main downside for me is that tucking shirts in can leave a bumpy silhouette from the excess fabric. If the bottoms were in a heavier fabric that might be less noticeable, but you may sacrifice the nice drape.
Seriously. I bought this pagewood farm merino tencel when I went to Threadbear with Shannon and Emily almost two years ago. I think I started to spin it up soon after I got it, but it's been something that I've only picked up a few minutes here and there. I'm glad I've finally gotten to this point. Now I have to finish in a few days. I won't be able to stand having my tripod up taking up my sitting space.

the weaving of the scarf warp begins. The yarn tails sitting above the surface are cut off after wet finishing. Maybe. I might decide that I like them. LOL
This was one of my favorite Funky C colorways ever, but I haven't been a huge fan of plied merino/tencel blends so I though I would try something different. Laceweight singles. Well over 700 yards of singles (I counted 850, but there are a few lengths I took out because I underspun them and hence a few knots- 4 to be exact. So, accounting for that I think it's safe to assume this could be used for any project calling for around 700 yards). I love the merino/tencel blend spun this way.
