Spinning

I have been throwing some spinning into the mix lately too. Here are my latest ones.

Superfine Merino

This is a superfine merino spun into a 2ply. It is about a worsted weight yarn and was not fun to spin. The top had been felted during dyeing so it was really hard to draft even with tons of prep work. It was one I was glad to see done and off the wheel

Here is the other one.

Merino/Cashmere

This is a merino/cashmere blend that I got as a prize during the "Tour de Fleece" earlier this year. This was heaven to spin and the colors are really great looking. It is a 2ply about sport weight yarn and SOOOO soft. I ended up with 296 yards of this enough to make something worthy of the softness.
