A newly discovered benefit of having no roomates 



Check this out! 
 
I can fill my bathtub with yarn, and not have to worry about preventing anyone but myself from taking a shower! This weekend I did a tiny bit of experimenting with the soy silk that i bought almost a year ago.



The first is a two-ply yarn. One ply is wool, and the other is soy silk. The second is a single ply that has the soy silk "blended" in with the wool. I tried to card the wool and the silk together and it kinda worked, but the silk is so fine that it never wanted to leave the card. It came out kinda marbled, and I like it. I dyed the yarns together in my crockpot with red and orange, and I am really happy with the way they turned out. the soy silk took a little bit of the color, but not much. I don't think there is enough of either of these for me to want to keep them, so i stuck them in my etsy shop where you can buy them, or check more (and bigger) photos if you wish.
