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!
ReplyDeleteI love polwarth and your fiber was gorgeous carded and spun up. I'm terrible at carding, by the way. I like the hat, too.
ReplyDeleteI love your new hat! It is very cool :O)
