From Fiber to Yarn II

Last night, I spun up this wonderful handdyed merino wool (called "Compliments 2" from the Yarn Wench:


I also used two novelty yarns--Moda Dea Dream and Moda Dea Frivolous.
Here is the single spun up on the bobbin:
And, here is the finished yarn (though before setting the twist!) I managed 2 skeins, 146 yards and 60 yards, out of what started as 3.7 oz of fiber!
Dreamsicle Sky, 60 yards:
Dreamsicle Sky 146 yards:
This one won't be up on the website or etsy until tonight! But, I do have these new ones up on etsy now!

Ready to spin . . .

This is what is waiting for me at home when I'm done with work:



It is handdyed merino wool, handdyed Romney locks (both dyed by the Yarn Wench), three novelty/specialty yarns and some angelina! I also plan on plying this with thread.

I can't wait to leave work so I can get spinning this! :)
