Long gradient, long project

I finally finished this project, which has been on the wheel since mid-April! This is my green-to-blue gradient, in which I combined two bags of roving by hand carding them into rolags in varying proportions (more on my process here).

I spun the singles long draw on my 12.5:1 whorl, and chain plied one size smaller (10.5:1). In the end, I got 403 yards of chain ply (which is 3 plies), and the skein weighs 211 grams. Here is how my rewound singles looked before chain plying:

The finished yarn, like the singles, is quite rustic and nonuniform. Lots of thick and thin here and varying levels of fuzz. This is a result of the initial fiber preparation, which wasn't the easiest to work with. I'm glad I persevered and finished the skein, which I think will probably knit up more nicely than I'm giving it credit for right now. There's only one way to find out, right?

I don't think this yarn is next-to-skin soft, so I'm considering the best use for it. Suggestions welcome.
