Plied Silk Handspun

I finished replying the silk handspun that was already plied, then joined the singles and plyed them too. Mmmm... lovely, soft silk handspun!

I think the silk got a wee bit matted when I wet-finished it to set the twist. I guess I should have researched how to set the twist on silk as opposed to wool. It's still nice, and I'm sure it'll bounce back. (That last photo is after I set the twist.) 113 yards = 103 meters of silky goodness. Now... what project to use it in?

(The singles were spun by loopykd, but suffered from a bad case of the tangles. I rescued it.)

Gosh, that is so pretty! The colors make me happy, and it seems very well plied too :D
