Today's offering is a two ply handspun merino tencel blend. This is the first time I've tried fiber from this vendor. I was browsing on Etsy and was drawn to the color. I had spun merino tencel blends before and I liked working with the fiber - so I decided to give it a try.
I really liked working with this fiber. It was dyed beautifully and it drafted very easily. I was able to spin up two fairly consistent singles and make a nice drapey two ply yarn.
I plan on knitting the Lace Ribbon Scarf with this skein.I think the drape and the weight of the yarn will complement the pattern nicely. I hope to have some time to cast on this weekend.

Ooh, Natalie (Cloudlover) is in my SnB group and I love seeing her work all around the web! Your yarn looks lovely, as well. (It always does!)
Shiny, drapey, soft -- gorgeous!
How would you compare tencel blends with silk or bamboo blends as far as ease of spinning? About the same?
Pretty colors! Great pattern choice!
Pretty!
