Carnival

I have finally settled on a name for the Fall/Crayon yarn. Well, three, actually. Carnival, Hot-Air Balloon, or Renaissance. Carnival seems to be sticking. The colors darkened a bit and then blended into all sorts of amazing combinations. I really should go through and write some of my favorite mixes down so I can re-create them later. You can see some of them in the picture, of course, but there are tons more.

Now, to get technical. This is a four-ply, worsted weight, cabled yarn. You can really see the way the “cable plying” makes it turn out if you look in the upper right quarter of the close up picture. See how instead of barber-pole striping it looks woven? That’s the cable effect.

I have yet to set the twist and measure yardage, but I think it’s somewhere in the neighborhood of three hundred yards.
