Look what I can do...

I spent 2 hrs last night plying and ended up with just over 410yds of this:

It's the Chocolate Cherry (20%silk/50%merino/30%alpaca) and some stash 50/50 alpaca/silk. Lovely stuff; good thing I like it so much cuz I need close to 1400 yds for the cover sweater from the Fall Vogue Knitting. Check out the lovely colors in Annemarie's version. I doubt I'm going to do the twisted floats though. I'm afraid that the extra patterning will be too much when using handspun. I think I'm going to start with just my handspun and see how it looks.
