I finished spinning and plying my PRS merino/soysilk, and I have to say that love it.
160 yds/116 grams
DK (11 wpi)
chain-plied
Check out the fat bobbin!
I chose to chain ply it, for a couple of reasons.
- Triple ply yarns (and their imitators) have a more satisfying look and squish, in my opinion, than two-ply yarns
- Pigeonroof colorways look amazing when the sequence is preserved, as in chain plying
See my swatches, here?
These are my socks. They're knit with a traditional two-ply.
This is a swatch from the chain plying I did with the singles left on my bobbin. Don't the colors look much less diffused this way? I want to spin up a whole bunch of PRS yarn like this, but I can't lie - I love the way it turns out both ways.
One of these days I may be able to get another 4 oz. of the Harlequin or Marigold or Harvest colorways in BFL or merino before they're all sold out! (arg!)

Loving the blog so far! The pictures are really fantastic! I'd love to see your take on the Handmaiden Sea Silk, mostly because I know you would make something amazing with it and I could live vicariously through you at the same time!
