After hours and hours of plying, I managed to finish my yarn for the Just Batty challenge today! I’m so, so very happy with it. It’s about 735 meters of laceweight yarn, enough for a very nice lace shawl. The colours are amazing and the gradient worked out well. I’ve made some pictures, and then I washed the yarn. It’s drying now.

That skein is SERIOUSLY gorgeous! All my favorite colors… I totally slacked on my batty challenge, am only about 3/4 of the way through my first batt. oh well!
I am in awe… That is seriously the thinnest skein of handspun yarn I’ve ever seen. Very cool!
