The first of my 'seven deadly yarns' is now complete and here it is! One skein of very soft merino, Tussah silk and black lace yarn coming in at around 85 yards, I think. I'm quite pleased with it, though adding in the snippets of lace--in the way that I did--proved to be quite irritating; having cut the lace into suitably sized pieces I threaded them onto the spool of spun silk with the intent of sliding them along as I went, adding them into the ply that way. The lace bunched up and I had to stop, a lot, to ease it along and straighten out the next piece to be used.

It's my goal to try at least one new technique out with each of the yarns that I have planned -- in this one there were two; adding in the scraps of lace and spinning pure silk (until now I've only used it blended with other fibre).

Ideas for the next sinful encounter of the fibre kind are already developing - the next installment of my blog will be about GLUTTONY.
