This is roving from FiberOptik Yarns. I bought a four ounce braid of superwash merino and a four ounce braid of merino/bamboo, both in the colorway Green Dolphin Street, spun them separately and plied them together. Because each fiber takes dye differently, there is a lovely depth to the finished yarn. This skein is the first half. I've spun up the rest, but it needs to be wound off and washed. I love the finished yarn so much that I think I may buy more of these fibers and spin enough for a Clapotis, which I've (gasp!) never made before. Or maybe I'll just carry the yarn around and pet it instead.

(giggle) I've never made one either! Very nice yarn and a neat idea for getting depth in your plied yarn.
I love that handspun! Beautiful colors. Don't let that skein out of your sight or KG might hide it.

That is so pretty!
I, too, have never knit the Clapotis. I still don't feel the urge to - no place to wear it!
I also have not made the clap-
perfect for a KAL- JUST KIDDING- I can't pressure knit.
Good on you!
Pretty yarn! I really like the colorway!
i want it. don't know what i'd do with it, but this is gorgeous. i want it!
oh and i've never made a clapotis either. probably never will. too many other projects that i will actually use.
