This is some beautiful Superwash wool and tencel fiber that I am spinning up for socks. My usual formula for this is to spin a fingering weight 2 ply yarn. This makes a really nice and colorful tweedy kind of a look. This time though I am doing things a little differently. I am going to spin 2 oz in my standard 2-ply fashion and then for the other 2 oz, I am going to spin it thinner and then navajo ply it. That way I will preserve the colors for striping. Then I am going to knit the toes, heels and cuff in the 2-ply and the rest of the sock in the 3-ply. I can't wait to see how they turn out. I am already loving the colors so much!
