Colour Integrity

A while back I started spinning this superwash merino fibre that had been dyed in my favourite colours.

There were longish bands of colour on the singles.

In order to avoid a lot of barberpoling, I decided to Navajo-/chain-ply it, realizing I'd get less yardage but maintaining the colour integrity.

I was happy to get 404 yards of three-ply.

And now I need to knit this into something fabulous.

I have three other projects on the go right now so won't decide 'til I finish at least one of them.

Yesterday I sewed up a project bag for me that I had cut out a week ago and was just waiting for an hour or so to get to the sewing machine.

Boots!!! And the leaves on the neighbour's maple trees are starting to turn.

I decided to line it with low-loft batting...

and used this coordinating striped fabric for the lining.

One of my unfinished knitting projects will fit in it very nicely.
