Wool on the Wheel this week is something I spun up just for fun. :] I bought a big bag of reduced turqouise wool/synthetic mix fleece (months and months ago) & it's been really fun finding projects for it- it's such a great colour. The only thing about it is that it's not 100% natural... which is kind of my thing. But I'm not one for waste either. This is mixed with a soft BFL in a grey to tone down how bright the turquoise is. it's also got bits and bobs of other things... kind of my favourite thing to do- just add a bunch of other little bits to keep it interesting.
It feels like a DK in most places, but might be more on the chunky side. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet... maybe a hat or a cowl? It's so soft!

Very pretty, it would make a lovely cowl I think.

It's super pretty - even with the synthetic mix ;) I'm a bit of a purist too - but sometimes it just has to be done...
I can see these colours framing your face - cowl or chunky scarf. I bet it'd make a fabulous long fat fringe.

Lay ti on the floor and roll around in it? Seriously, it is gorgeous. I don't even knit very much anymore and I'd buy it off you like a shot!
