Churro sweater

A churro fleece I'd stored several years ago began to felt "on the shelf." (Fleece can felt simply from changes in humidity combined with too-tight packiaging.) I rescued most of it and made a bulky thick-and-thin yarn (30 oz total) which will soon be a completed pullover. What a pleasure to go to one's roving stash, pick out a few colors, and invent some yarn!

The rescued churro fleece (white strands) knitted up at about 2 sts per inch

Roving to be plyed with churro singles

One skein weighing 4 5/8 oz

Partially completed elements of the sweater:  front, back, sleeve
