Spun by me
I have not been lacking in knitting I have been progressing in spinning.
I am very proud of my little bundle of yarn.
I bought the blue face leicester roving from Northwest Wools.
It was colored by Woolgatherings Fibers. It is a multitude of colors yellow, green, blue, purple, aqua, and all that goes in between. I like how it turned out but I don't know if I could knit with it. I might have to just look at it for awhile... a long while
I spun it on my drop spindle and then plied two groups of singles together and got 60 yards of goodness. I still have a little bit of roving left and a bit of single.
This one turned out so well I bought more roving . This one is superwash corriedale in a much different colorway. It is not as sticky as the blueface leicester and not as slippery as the merino I started with. I won't show you a picture of that, it turned out looking like a bunny got run though a dryer than rung out. The corriedale is turning out very thin. I am trying to keep it all about the same but I am new so it comes and goes with the consistency.
Must pet my yarn.

Ooh, it's gorgeous.
I've been thinking of getting my drop spindle out this summer and giving it another go, and I must say that while people like you inspire me, you also set the bar pretty high ;) >
Holy cow! you did that on a drop spindle? I Have one and tried and tried to use it (although I never had a lesson) and made nothing attractive. I'm inspired! Gorgeous!! >
