Spinning Again

Well I've brought out the spinning wheel again. I've decided to get a bit more hardcore about it and try some plying and color blending. I naturally spin about a sport weight yarn so I'm thinking a two ply of that will be very nice.

I usually spin straight from the roving (for merino and wool silk blends). I've had carders for a while but I hardly ever use them. I had some rovings of some dyed green wools. So I'm now making some green mix rolags to spin up some pretty green variegated yarn. I ordered some more merino roving as well and I have acid dyes so I'll be making some fancy dyed roving of my own soon. I'm very excited!

I'll take some pictures of my current batches soon.
