Limeola!
Limeola sock yarn, anyone?
This is the final result of my Bonkers Superwash Merino in "Limeola" spinning project. Two plies of tightly spun singles happily twisted together and enjoying a little time in the sun after a bath and a rest. Now they are soft, squishy and delicious! I've got just about 4 ounces and just about 400 yards. Just perfect for a pair of socks.

There will be much stripeyness in this yarn, which is exactly what I wanted. As I plied, it was clear that there would be relatively long sections of stripeyness, which is the way I like my stripes!
A happy Limeola rainbow, or perhaps water fall. This shot made me think of water flowing over mossy rocks, and captures well the true colors in the skein.
Finishing up this yarn makes me really feel bad about how little use my wheel is getting right now. I love to spin, but time is short, and the time it takes to complete even a small project would take me several days worth of nap times. I should have done more spinning when a certain small person was less mobile! Ah well. I have no doubt that my wheel will wait patiently until I can eke out a bit more spinning time.

The yarn looks great. Spinning really seems like the worst activity you can do with an active baby in the house.
Our 10 year daughter is hardly home anymore, school, clubs, friends etc. I am glad I have little Miss T with me all day long.
Your time to spin will come back sooner than you think.
Miss seeing your cute littel Miss Z.
As a person who has recently acquired a wheel,(I hesitate to call myself a spinner!) I am envious of your beautiful yarn. The colors seem perfect for this time of year. It reminded me of tender green grass and soft blue spring sky. It'll make some lovely socks.
Woah! I love it!!!
Lovely colour - perfect for spring.
Inspired by you, I put my 7-week old in a sling and actually spun some last week! It sounds like I'll have to do a lot more spinning now while I can.
Hi! The yarn looks lovely and almost alive. It reminds me of the first bright leaves of spring against a particularly blue sky.
I really wanted to comment on your Fiesta Feet (but the blog wouldn't let me). They are fabulous! I started these for my Knitting Olympics project and only got as far as the cuffs - the idea of grafting in garter stitch stopped me cold, and then I got distracted. I will have to go find them and get them knitted. Thanks for the inspiration!
