Eyecandy!

3 ply variegated wool for a knit and felt hat.

First I drum carded the individual colours, then made them into batts with one big stripe of each colour. I made a total of four batts.

Then I broke each batt in half widthways and predrafted it from the sides to keep each colour distinct. Finally, I spun the singles (they fit onto one bobbin) and then navajo plied.

I haven't weighed the skein, but it's enough for the hat :-)
