LOL! I had a project like that once. My first all-singles project, in fact. Started out as yarn for a coat. A wonderful creamy white BL x Correidale from Australia, perfect wool for a first handspun singles project. I was going to spin all the yarn, then space-dye spots of color (love yarn like that :). Oh, but how boring to spin mile after mile of plain white yarn! So I quit about about 3/4 of a mile and made a scarf instead--not nearly as ambitious as your morphing :) <<The plusses--the color (natural gray with strands of mohair in turquoise and rust). The hand--this stuff is somehow buttery--it's luxuriously drapey and buttery.>> I hope you'll tell us more about the yarn you spun? Was it singles or plyed? How thick? How much mohair? What sett? Was it a plain twill or something else? What was the wool like? Do tell more :) Holly To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
