it's all done! (well I still need to wash it...) SO hyped omg it's GORGEOUS!!! The colors are so vibrant and the rainbow gradient is so cool. It ended up being just over 500 yards of lace/light fingering yarn (~20 WPI). After washing this really πΈbloomedπΈ and it's so light and springy and buttery aaah (the above pics are before washing)
See the plying ball here and the single filling up the bobbin here and the plied yarn on the bobbin here; The wool is an electric rainbow in rambouillet from SpinningSiren on etsy
I wasn't sure what to make with it at first, I figured a lot of my spinning projects would end up as colorwork sweaters since that's what I would wear most. But I really want to see ALL of the gradient in the yarn. I want to see all the color changes and fading and everything else. So I think I'm doing a shawl with it. So please leave a comment if you have any pattern recs! (I present mostly masculine, but I'm open to some lightly feminine accessories)
What sort of shawl should I make with this yarn?
Open and airy lace
Just a little lace
Some sort of knit/purl combo stitch pattern
Cables...?
Something else?

Currently leaning towards the My Precious shawl from By the Lily Pond. But to bead or not to bead, that is the question. (I've never done a beaded knitting project before)
