I wanted to use my hand carders, and decided to rip the braid into pieces, like this: the color runs were a little short.
Then I arranged the pieces into color groups, and hand carded them.
The resulting yarn, which I spun semi woolen, and chain plied, looked like this.
When Kelly asked me to test knit her new hat pattern - Stormont, I grabbed my Metro yarn and knit it right away:
What a lovely design! Unfortunately, it didn't use up all my yarn, and I wanted to use it all in one project, so I ripped it back to the prim, used that and just kept knitting, until almost all the yarn was gone.
And that's the story of "Metro".

Gorgeous yarn, and I love the hats! The new design is in my cart on Rav!
I love polwarth and your fiber was gorgeous carded and spun up. I'm terrible at carding, by the way. I like the hat, too.
I love your new hat! It is very cool :O)
Great work; lovely yarn.
Nice!
Absolutely love how the yarn ended up turning out! You are making me want carders.
Such a beautiful yarn - the hat really showcases it too!
I love the way you organised the colours to make the wool and that is such a fun hat!!!
