First plying attempt!!Well, I finally got my traveller fixed and up and running, so I had a go at spinning some jacob tops I got from winghams. Then I took the plunge and had my first attempt at plying the jacob together with the copper pot merino I spun the other week.  I think it's turned out ok, I have about 50m, so I'm going to knit a little bag in the twisted sister sock book.  although I have plenty more jacob and half the copper pot, but I'll save that for another time.

I thought a nice background would hide any imperfections.

KLB. actually prism is spun with a thin and thicker yarn isn't it? not sure mine is in the same league, but combining the soft merino with the harsher jacob has meant a softer overall yarn than plying the jacob together, cos I'm sure I couldn't wear just jacob.
But I might make a little drawstring back to keep my knitting notions in, as DD has nicked my purple silk one.  mind you, she has already claimed this yarn to be her's. quelle surprise.

Good job - it's very beautiful and entirely unique yarn.
