Show and Tell

Remember this roving that I bought a few months back?

Lindy had fun this weekend making this:

Here are the singles before plying.  I had never spun color before.  It was fascinating watching the colors blend and wondering what it would look like in the end.

Here is the skein....4 oz....100% Merino...444yds...prebath!

And some close ups!

Yum!

Lindy and you are awesome. I am always amazed at how subdued the yarn turns out when the fiber looks bright. And 444 yards is tons! I hope you get tons of roving for christmas!

PS) would you mind sending me your snail mail? Your on my christmas card list. :)

I just love how that turned out....I can't tell at all based on what the roving looks like! It's all a very fun mystery to me :-)

Sometime in the near future, I need to get out my wheel. Your enthusiasm is contagious. And the yarn you are spinning is beautiful!

This yarn was even prettier in "person". You are really doing wonderful spinning.
