I finally settled on the Feather & Fan Comfort Shawl for this mixed up bunch of handspun. This skein will be the fourth out of five skeins. I'm actually really looking forward to starting this project. I'm just trying to get the knitting on Halfobi finished first.
There isn't much new with this spinning project to talk about. I didn't try any new techniques, I'm just trying to make sure the weight of the yarn matches what is already spun up. The colors aren't too exciting or anything, but I like the pink and brown tones of the yarn. I think it works well with the green, brown, and blue colors I have waiting.

Can't' wait to see this shawl! I like this yarn too. You wont believe, that I just spun some yarn from FatCatKnits in the colorway "Cobblestone" which are the same colors. But I made a 3-ply and added Silver Dollar as the third ply. I had some leftover from the Cobblestone and made a 2-ply which looks like yours. :o)
What a gorgeous handspun! It will look awesome in that shawl.
That is one shawl I wait with bated breath on!! The spun yarn looks fantastic :)
That will be beautiful! I started another one in handspun yesterday, but didn't plan out what yarns to use when. I started the second color last night and I don't like it. You're smart to think ahead!
