The Addlepated Flamingo
This is The Flamingo, by Nunoco. With my eyes on the goal, which is a scarf for a friend, I forgot to do everything I meant to with this fiber. I forgot to split and weigh it, and I forgot to count how many yards, although I'm guessing around 300. I did manage to remember to measure wraps per inch, which came in at 12-14.
The fiber is merino and bamboo, and I think I would comb the bamboo in a little bit, if I did this again. I spun it from the fold, and the bits where it's mostly or only bamboo had a tendency to drift apart, while plying. It is no fault of the fiber; it's because I'm still learning. It came out a little bit thick and thin, but it's knitting up nicely.
