Nube
Roving, pure merino wool. For spinning or felted. Hand dyed Nube means cloud in Spanish, we call it Nube because it’s malabrigo’s merino.

Uh-oh, Malabrigo has started dyeing merino roving for spinning or felting. I want them ALL!

Wil Wheaton came to the attention of science-fiction fans as Wesley Crusher in Star Trek The Next Generation and since leaving the show has done many things including writing, podcasting (Radio Free Burrito), gameplay and blogging – he won every category he was nominated for in the 2002 ‘bloggies’. More recently he has come back to the attention of TV audiences first as ‘evil’ Wil Wheaton and then simply as Wil Wheaton in the show Big Bang Theory.
Wil has a good pedigree of playing in genre and would be a major cross-over event were he to become everyone’s favourite Gallifreyan. He would also help ensure the continued US interest in the show and therefore its longevity.

If grey and yellow is grellow, what’s pink and grey? Grink? Prey? Whatever it’s called, it’s a lovely color combination.
- On Ravelry: Retreat Companion
- Pattern: The Traveling Companion Shawl by Karen Strauss
- Yarn: Garnstudio DROPS Alpaca in #506 dark grey (146 yd/133 m) and #2922 Deep Pink (182 yd/166 m)
- Needles: 4.0 mm
- Mods: Made the triangular version, notes on my Rav project page.
The striped edging is not in the original pattern — it was just me trying to use up as much of the yarn as I could. And it worked! I used all of the grey yarn I had (about 40 g) and had about a foot of the pink remaining.
