I have a few favourite indie dyers, one is Sundara I mentioned before, and other one of them Katy from Yarn Chef. I've bought quite a number of skeins from her, and recently started buying some fibre from her Yarn Chef SPIN. She dyes very beautiful subtle semi-solid yarn which makes the final product so wearable yet unique. If you have time, you should go and take a look, and you won't be disappointed. :)
So this is the fibre I got from her some time ago. Roving with 50/50 Bamboo Merino at colourway "Junior High Dance". I am particularly in love with how the colour gradually changes from blue to red then to purple. And I know, when I saw the fibre, it should be spun n-plied.
I spun the roving using one of the most beautiful spindle I've ever purchased. A flower shaped glass spindle from Butterfly Girls Design. Oh my god, why couldn't I resist those clear blue stuff? I haven't yet taken a picture of the oh-so-gorgeous spindle, so I have to leave it to next time. Anyway, it's a 1.3oz top whorl spindle.
This is the yarn. See? How lovely it is? It's about 208m long and DK weight.

I've thought a lot before I choose the pattern for the yarn. I wish it will be a scarf, with minimal amount of lace so it would not hinder the beauty of the colour. And then I looked at my ravelry queue, yes, I can work on a lacy baktus orignally planned for a fingering weight yarn! And it works well!
Honestly the scarf isn't long enough to wrap my neck and tied at the front just like the pattern picture shows, but it should be ok and it looks so cool. Maybe I will wear it for the CNY if it's cool enough!
