Showing off an old project

This is an old project indeed - it's been a finished object since Midsummer, but I just got the photos organised and thought I'd tell a little about it. I am, if nothing, a leisurely spinner... but the FO was done in about 2 months. Go figure!

Esittelen tässä vanhan projektin, kun löysin kuvia. Kehruussa kesti kauan, mutta valmis shaali valmistui parissa kuukaudessa!

It started out with this merino-silk top from Limegreenjelly at Etsy, in October 2009:
Lokakuussa 2009 oli Limegreenjelly:n merino-silkkitopsia:

Which I split from the middle into two thinner pieces:

And spun with my 15g Bosworth top whorl:

Then, in August 2010, it came time for the singles to be plied:
Elokuussa 2010 kerrattiin jo:

But finally, I had finished yarn:
