OLIVIA'S PANSIES - Handspun 3-Ply Yarn - Merino and Silk - 280 yards
Olivia's Pansies is spun, steamed and listed! This is a 4.5 oz roving from cloudlover69 on Etsy in her Olivia colorway: olive green, cobalt blue and purple in an 80% Merino/20% Silk fiber. This yarn has lots of luster, drapes beautifully and is next to the skin soft. This is Navajo-plied (3-ply - also called "chain plyed") and I ended up with 280 yards of DK weight @ 12 wpi.
Love the colors...I see a Spring Faery wrapped in there!!!! ^_^
