John spun this gorgeous yarn for me -it's some natural Lincoln wool from our friend Martha Williams. John spun and navajo-plied it, so it is naturally self-striping. He spins SO FINE! Even though it is 3-ply, I am STILL having to knit it with SIZE ZERO NEEDLES!!!!!!!!! I have never used below size 1 before. I think I am going to have to take up lace knitting, to best use the yarn he spins for me.....
