Before I left for vacation, I was nearly done with a merino/silk single to ply with one of the first singles I completed during the tour (Wine Country BFL/silk from the Sweet Georgia Fibre Club ). This week, I managed to finish what was on my wheel and ply the two together, and I am so thrilled with the results!

I do have a bunch of singles, however...and I'm running out of bobbins! I still haven't plied the Wine Country or custom dyed top from last week , though the fiber I've got in progress on my Ladybug will hopefully be a good match for the Sweet Georgia single.
