Yes, I finally finished spinning my Del Mar yarn! Here's a close-up:
When I restarted this project, I decided I wanted a yarn that looks kind of rough and homespun - thick and thin with varying degrees of twist. Sounds like it should be easy, but when you've been spinning for a while and have spent a lot of time working to make your yarns consistent, it can be difficult to loosen up and just be free! It doesn't have as much variety as I was hoping for, but I like it nonetheless.
I ended up with about 170 yards of about a DK weight yarn, and I'm planning to make it into a hat.
It's exquisite Gail! You are right, it does have a look of the sea, especially at low tide.
