Baby camel/Merino 50/50 Blend

Camel/Merino 50/50 Blend

This is about 2oz worth of yarn. I bought 8 oz all together to make a scarf for my mom. I'm thinking Knitty's Branching Out, which I'm test driving in a cheap acrylic right now, just so I can know I have the stitches down, and then I'll see if it looks good in this yarn. We'll see how it turns out.

50/50 baby camel/merino blend, plied from a center pull ball on my Majacraft Little Gem II.

I suck at plying so far, but I'm getting better. I decided to use my drop spindle to fix the plying errors and it worked beautifully. I only added twist where it was needed and simply wound the rest on. Problem fixed!
