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!
