FLOOF!

strawberry banana

202 yards, 4.1 oz., about 11 wpi (that worstedish) spun super extra loose for maximum floofitude!

This yarn comes from the roving that my dear Shana sent for my birthday (thanks again, hun!!) and the roving comes from Bee Mice Elf in her colorway "cinnamon toast." The yarn is destined to be mittens, so I wanted it to be high on the floof factor so I can knit it at a fairly tight gauge and still get a fluffy fabric. After spinning all that fine, controlled yarn it was fun to just let this merino pop out of my hands in thick, puffy bits.

Floofitude! That's a technical spinning term, right? Looks lovely, though I might be thinking scarf with that sooooft merino rather than mitts.
