Hmmmmm....

So, I started with this lovely bump from my favourite fiber pusher, Crown Mountain Farms:

I simply split the bump in two horizontally, spun them up the same, and then navajo plied.  So why did they turn out so differently?

I'm happy with how each of them turned out, but a little dissappointed that I probably can't use them in the same project now.  Or perhaps they would coordinate enough to use for something of the shawly wrappy variety?

If you alternated rows you could use them together. Interesting that it turned out that way!

Crown mountain does that on purpose. I heard it somewhere, they make one end lighter and one end darker, so if you split it in the middle that would be why.

If you look at a bump of CMF, they are not consistent through the whole length of the bump. More lights at one end and more darks at the front. Thinking of traditional 3-ply, split in 3 with different colour saturations in each third.

Having said that, I think they both look gorgeous. If I want to traditional 3-ply but in 4 ouunce sections, I would divide in 3 and then split the 3 back into half and then use one half of each of the 3 in each skein. But for n-ply it's not that easy.

I didn't know that, interesting......
