Silk and ...

I think it is silk and camel but I don't have good notes.  It was purchased before Ravelry was doing fiber stash.  It could be wool and silk.

It was purchased at the Estes Park Wool Market about 2 years after I got my Kromski Minstel.
The singles were spun with the 8.5 ratio whorl. And then plied with the 12 ratio whorl.  The end result is a 2 ply that is somewhat thick and thin running from sport to light worsted.  
 Started in August finished in September.  Two skeins, one of which is 180 yards and the smaller one is 105 yards.

With the silk in it, I am think cowl or scarf.
