The biggest surprise was how much it shrunk lengthwise. Made the nicest hats and scarves - and they won't shrink in the future. I did that technique with 100% merino and loved the results.

Wow. I think I am most DEFINITELY going to do this. Makes PERFECT sense. Do you knit sweaters with fulled yarn? Is it soft? Questions, questions, questions. Hmmmm. Must experiment.

What about merino tencel or just merino or even one of the long wools, like romney? I guess my real question is whether you finish different fiber blends differently!

Your 'Jenny-colored' experiment looks interesting; I'd like to see how that comes out when all is said and done. I need to post pics of my results, too! I got two nearly-equal skeins with similar color changes, though I wasn't too scientific about it when I split them up. Pics to come. And I REALLY like the finishing & plying tutorials. Finishing makes such a huge difference in the whole skein, it's so worth it. ohhh, orange...very nice work, there.

I must learn how to do this finishing thing ... The hot, cold, hot, cold ... that's only on a superwash or non-felting yarn? That's a great lesson, how the WPI changes after finishing.
