Carnevale

I finally got around to plying the forest green roving that came with
my wheel. I have no idea what it is, or how much there is. I had spun
the singles up a month or so ago, and they've been staring at me
balefully ever since.

This is a two-ply yarn. The singles were around sport weight, but it bloomed like crazy when it hit the water, so the final yarn overs between Aran
and bulky weight. it's super soft and squishy; Jessica thinks it might
be Merino, but if it is, it must be a blend, because it held the twist
too well during the weeks that I abandoned it to be pure Merino.

My favorite thing was seeing all the other colors come out when the yam bloomed. It went from being a deep green to a whole cacophony of jewel tones. It reminds me of a scene from a movie (no, I don't remember which one) full of vaguely menacing masked and cloaked people at Carnevale in Venice.
