I love grey wool. There are so many possible shades from just a combination of black and white fibers. And the combinations within combinations gives me a whole universe of sparkling silver. I can look at a grey yarn for ages and get mesmerized by the spiraling promise of everlasting variation.<\/p>\n

Also, I have discovered the wonderful world of dyeing on grey. The colours turn out so deep and rich and gives the yarn a beautiful heathered effect from all the shades in the grey. Which, of course, puts me in a dilemma \u2013 I want to keep the beautiful grey and at the same time dye it for the wonderful \u00a0colour result.<\/p>\n

A grey Tr\u00f8nder fleece<\/h2>\n

At Christmas, I bought a beautiful fleece from talented wool classifier Kia Gabrielsson of Ulls\u00f6rvis<\/a>. It was a grey Tr\u00f8nder fleece with lots of different shades in it. I separated the fleece and ended up with four piles of grey, from anthracite to very light grey. I carded the fiber and spun the colours separately and 3-plied them. The result was four squishy skeins of yummy greys.<\/p>\n

I also found the perfect knitting project for the skeins, where I could use all the shades and show the beautiful variation. It was the Slouchy shrug<\/a> by\u00a0\u4f0a\u51e1 \u9673, Yarn door<\/a> on Ravelry.<\/p>\n
