This yarn is lumpy and bumpy and thick - noils, neps and curls all there in their glory. 7 foot shawl is almost finished - just have to straighten up and put on a crochet edge. Straightening the threads wasn't as bad as I thought - mostly I stood and did it while chatting on the phone to a friend!. I've pulled it off and although it might not need the crochet edge I will do it just for the stability and firmness it will give.

Myrtlewood Russian Support Spindle with Matching Bowl I would just love to have one of these.

This yarn is ever so soft. I dyed the Tasmanian Merino tops then used a hackle to blend the silk into it. It was then spun into this 2 ply yarn.
