The yarn looks very even and I agree, the color is much prettier spun and skeined than it was in roving.

Dezember auch wieder daran erinnert, dass ich ja auch noch die Wolle von Noro für den Schal à la Jared liegen hab. Nun, zurzeit bin ich ja noch krank geschrieben, so dass ich eigentlich viel Teit fürs Stricken habe. Mal sehen, wann ich anfangen werde. Muss noch ein Geschenk zu Weihnachten vorher stricken.<BR/>Vielen Dank übrigens für Deine lieben Wünsche, es geht mir von Tag zu Tag immer ein Stückchen besser.<BR/>Bis bald und liebe Grüße nach Canada<BR/>SusanneSusannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374991763790827182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25604704.post-87044947822504051402007-12-16T11:05:00.000-05:002007-12-16T11:05:00.000-05:00DOH!

Which would make it a lot harder to break the roving up and spin and ply for separate colors. I like the color and the thick/thin, and think it will knit up to be an interesting fabric.
