Grapes anklets

As promised, I had just enough handspun yarn left from my ‘cluster of grapes’ braid from Three Waters Fibers to make these cute little anklet socks. I’m an expert at yarn chicken, and had less than 3 feet of yarn left over!

This rainbow roving (colorway ‘cluster of grapes’ ) was from Three Waters Farm. I spun it super fine, and plied it against a grey blend of shetland wool, alpaca and nylon that my mom had blended up for me to make socks from. The two singles were plied, and then I did a three-ply cable thing to make the overall six ply yarn. I love the texture of this finished yarn, and the depth that adding that grey ply added. I think the yarn does a great job of providing enough visual interest of its own, without a complicated pattern.
