I could not wait to get this fiber in the mail, after seeing photos of it from others, who already had it in their hands. I loved both colorways the moment I saw them. It's FatCatKnits Mixed Blessings Fiber Club January 2011 in Merino wool. I think Ginny is dyeing the most amazing colorways.
The red one: 5oz
The blue one: 5oz
There are little snow flakes on both of them. I had to go outside, even while snowing to take pictures, to get the true colors of the fiber.
Here's what I did with them: the red one: 275yds, navajo plied merino
and the blue one: 236yds, navajo plied, merino (a little less, because Denny had to take a bite out of it)
I also wanted to make a 2-ply with both colorways together: 88yds, chunky
Here are the two colorways together: I want to use them together in a project.
And here's the whole family:
And because I love this yarn, here's another shot:
I can't wait for next FatCatKnits Mixed Blessing fiber club to arrive. It's already on its way!

Have a wonderful weekend!

No wonder you like them, they are GORGEOUS! Can't wait to see what project you will use them toogether...I especially like the red/orange one.:-)
I second that! Beautiful colors! Gorgeous handspun! Glad the troops leave you alone long enough to spin.
Beautiful!! I love your spinning.
gorgeous! i love the 2ply the best.
WOW!!! I loved the red but didn't think too much of the others till I saw all three together. Whatever you make with them will be beautiful, and I can't wait to see it!
Gorgeous colors! Your spinning is always so lovely :o)
You're making me feel more confident in my decision to navajo ply mine and use them together in a project. They look great!
Your spinning is so skilful, neat and even. I love the blue colours best of all but they are all gorgeous.
That red one is delicious.
Love that chunky yarn especially. Thanks for the pix.

It is really amazing to see how the fibers and the interaction of the colours change in the prosess from fiber to yarn. Really beautiful result! Can't wait to see what project you have in mind for these :)
