Around christmas, a lovely neighbour friend of my Mum's (and mine!) commissioned some beautiful handspun from me. She saw something I'd made for Mum and wanted something similar. So we got together and chose colours. I'm pretty proud of this, cause it's mostly naturally dyed colours! But the really cool thing about it, is that it's spun in a gradient so when she knits it up, it will go from those dark blues through to the magical purples and into that bouncy pink. There's just enough for making 1 cowl, so it's really unique!
You can see that I've plied it with a thin sewing cotton, to give it strength. :] It's also nice and thick'n'thin so it's fun to knit with!
During one of her visits, I also gave her a refresher course in spinning and here are her results:
Pretty good, eh? :]

GORGEOUS colors!!! I bought some gradient yarn that I LOVE but have no idea how to use, because my colors aren't really flowing together! ;.;
