WIP-it Wednesday...

 ...and a finished object. First up, the finished object.

Halloween is sneaking up on us and I'm ready for it. I decided to spin a Halloween-themed yarn. This is Candy Corn [Ravelry]:

Candy Corn Handspun

and the close up:

Candy Corn Handspun, close-up

Specs:
Started 10/17/2024
Finished 10/20/2024
4.0 oz. Merino-Tencel from Greenwood Fiberworks
1) 170.8 yds. chain-ply, 13 WPI
2) 16 yds. 2-ply

I started this year as a 2-ply, but really hated the way that the colors were flowing. I swapped over to chain-ply and like the way that the yarn turned out.

To continue the Halloween theme, I started an old kit from my stash. This is Happy Pumpkin Needle roll from Shepherd's Bush:
