The first picture is truest to the color. The second is kind of crappy, but gives you an idea of the weight the yarn is (i.e. the coin is a 10 cent Euro piece -- closest coin that I could see out in the open -- it's about the size of a penny). I'm really, really pleased with how it turned out. I was a bit worried due to the shocking color of the roving and while I was spinning the individual strands it was REALLY tight, I wasn't sure if there was going to be enough of each...THEN while plying the yarn started kinking up on itself. ::shakes head:: Tricky, tricky yarn. But after beating it, soaking it, squeezing it, etc...I think that it's just about perfect. =) Now is the curious question about what I'm going to do with it. Maybe it will just sit out as decoration.
