This is "hot summer days". I think that maybe it was a wish and a prayer this summer that we would have some hot summer days. So far, the only really hot day that I remember was the one that I was pulling pots out of a 900 degree kiln. That wasn't quite what I had in mind.
I usually just ply the yarn on itself, but this time I thought that I might try something a little different. I had spun some black merino a while back and it was just sitting on its bobbin still. The original intention was to ply it into a black 2 ply for use in my hand spun scarves.Instead it ended up with the hot summer days.
So I guess that it can be called "Hot Summer Days and Nights"100% merino

That's a neat combination of colors. It looks warm.
It would looks stunning with a black outfit.
Ooh, yes. That black is a real anchor in the color. I'd bet you could do something like that with shades of lettuce-leaf green, and then ply it with navy. Gorgeous.
this is a test. Ignore the man behind the curtain.
Oh, and I like the yarn. The fiery HOT sun in the first pic reminds me of.... OK, we can't talk about that here on a family blog with a G rating.
