After using the last skeins in the Garter Squish blanket, I’m now hoping to finish off this Columbia fleece, too. It is really soft but pretty short in some places and has a fair amount of VM. So is isn’t so fun to pick, but it does card up nicely.

I decided not to add in any of the colorful silk noil or mohair that I had. But I searched for (and found) my bump of tussah silk and mixed that in. I wanted a 50/50 blend, but I couldn’t get that much silk into the mix in just three passes through the drum carder. So I’m not sure what the mix is, but I’d guess it is at least 20%.

Started spinning last night and it is nice. I’m getting a pretty thin singles so I may do a 3-ply. We’ll see. And then I think I will dye the skeins. We’ll see.
