It was difficult to control which color was visible on the knit/purl side, but I think it came out ok. 100% super wash merino

Thanks, I honestly just used the built in tensioner, but maybe the two yarns going through it added just a little more friction.

The finished color looks like a goldenrod/amber but the yarn color is almost neon pumpkin orange. Plating it over the black yarn really changes it. Currently starting at the leftovers and wondering what it would look like plated on white
