This spin was inspired by friend and blogmate Erica. She just spins. The woman can kick out a pound of fiber and knit half a garment in a weekend. Ok, maybe not a weekend but pretty damn close. I spun and plied 8 oz in about two days, and remarkably I still got my work-work, kid-work and house-work done. The cormo in the blend was a little neppy which made a great texture and the blend is scarf soft. I'm pissed I didn't buy more from her,
she rarely does repeats. In Erica tradition I want to make something out of this now, I'm considering the Conway Cloche.
