Fluffy Lipstick

Its finished! I plyed the Guardians of Lipstick and the Fluff from Hell, and here it is! The picture came out a little darker and more purple than it is in real life. The skein is still a little wet so I haven't thwacked it yet. Apparently silk likes to be beaten a bit to bring out its shine and angora likes to beaten to make it fuzzy. I don't really know how merino and mohair feel, but they'll be beaten with the rest of the yarn. I just love how this yarn came out, even before the skein is "finished." I got 870 yards out of it and while I haven't checked wpi (wraps per inch) yet, it looks to be close to the size of Zephyr. I started with 2 ounces of the Kid Mohair/Angora and 2 ounces of the Merino/Bombyx Silk (Guardians of Fire was its real name). I haven't weighed the skein here because its not quite dry but I still have a good amount of the Guardians singles left over, so this skein is less than 4 ounces. I'll ply the leftover Guardian on itself and maybe use it to knit an edging on whatever I make from this. The colors should work since the Guardians make up half of this skein. I don't know what I'll make with it yet, maybe I'll design something new!

I'm almost done with the dress. I just have to put in the zipper and do the facings and hem. Shouldn't take much longer. Pictures tomorrow!
