Catscan let the sheep out of the bag....or is that a cat? Well, it is a triple ply, which means that it is 3 strands spun together into a yarn. Two of the strands are my own handspun - one is turquoise and one is a darker blue. The third strand is an unconventional element. It is actually a commercial nylon yarn called "Featherwisp" and it is composed of two strands itself! One is a hairy strand and the other is a ribbony strand. It's 100% nylon. So, that yarn that I spun is 2/3 of my own handspun single ply threads, and 1/3 commercial for the third thread. All three were then spun together into a single strand using my wheel.

Here is a picture of the Featherwisp yarn.
