This little test hank is navajo-plied Blue Faced Leicester Top, Color Plum Toast by Frabjous Fibers. I bought it at Wisconsin Sheep and Wool in Sept '09 and dug it out when I went rummaging for something fun to spin. I definitely had some issues (singles broke a few times while plying. Grrr) but on the whole I like it. I think the rest of the fiber will be fun to spin and make a luscious yarn.

I love the color! I don't spin (wish I could, alas no room at all, and drop spindle doesn't appeal) but I am looking forward to seeing how this yarn develops, and what you make from it.
It is pretty. Soft just makes it perfect.

Love that color!
I love the half-hour hat pattern, but I'm having trouble at the top, sewing the 4 points. What do you do when you reach the top of the hat? Do you stop sewing, sew in 1/4"? I've made 2 of them and still I don't like the way the top looks:(
Thanks!
Anonymous, you should end up with all the raw edges on the inside of the hat and an intersection of the two seams making a cross in the center top.
It looks really interesting. Mostly darker, with lighter patches... it doesn't look barber-poley at all. Mine always does, no matter what I try.
