Amazingly enough this is Johnny Jump Ups POST washing. Skein one is the largest at 290yds. It is 3 ply and washed out to a pretty shades of purple with some greenish hues. Skein two is only a two ply of lilac and yellow which turned an almost mossy green with some purples total lenght is 256.8 yards.Skein 3 is what was left of the triple ply of the lilac, violet and yellow which for some reason turned a lighter shade of the purples/green - total yardage is 139.75. Odd that all of this came of the same dye lot - Ya never know what is going to happen! I guess that is the fun of this - the unpredictablility! I am going to wash the Purple Haze today and see what happens.

I finally got my first skein of Johnny Jump Ups done. I am going to be doing another run of it. YIPPEE. These pics are terrible. I tried to get a good picture. Anyway. I believe it made around 290 yards. I will likely put this one up for sale - as my friend said - it is a process project. I just wanted to dye, spin, and triple ply - Success. I will be washing it this week.

1, 2, 3. Here we go - I am spinning my rovings. The next pic will hopefully be of the finished 3-ply yarn. I think the yellow is a bit brighter than I had originally wanted but it's what i have and I've been doing it all myself for a learning experience. I have learned so much.

So, I got an incredible idea from spring flowers (yeah - I know this is not original but I still want to see it through) I had the two purples dyed so I dyed a bit of roving yellow - and I am spinning up three bobbins and will triple ply it. I love spring and it will be fun to take something from start to finish. White roving, dying it myself, and now spinning and then plying. This is SOOOOOO much fun.
