blurple

My latest finished handspun (right before starting Ravelympics):

Each ply was 2 oz of Merino/Bombyx Silk blend dyed by me.

I meant to take a picture of each bobbin before I plied but I forgot.

I wasn’t sure about it after I plied it but the washing made everything a bit better. :)

…and yes … I am calling it ‘Blurple’. :)
