Four, approximately 1/2 oz batts of luscious merino wool and cruelty-free silk I have hand dyed and carded on my Strauch drum carder, in crimson, purple, and soft pink. The silk gives a fun texture to the spun yarn, and a tweed look to the finished project.
My first attempt at handspinning with a drop spindle, Feb-March 2006. This was a beautiful tri-color "pumpkin" wool roving. I only bought a tiny bit of it, so this skein is all I have-- I really love how it turned out, but haven't figured out what I can do with such a small amount of yarn.
This was merino that I had custom mixed by Linda at Grafton Fibers-it was a mostly pink mix with some yellows and oranges carded in. I don't think I have ever spun a softer fiber...

after messing around with half the romney wool on my spindle, i spun the second 2 oz. on my wheel and plied it with some mystery purple fiber. can't wait to see how it knits up!
Purchased from ScotiaSpinner on Etsy (thanks Claire!) Yes, I can spin my own, but I don't dye much yet, and this was too irresistable - love the colors!
this was a 1.2 oz drum carded batt from Traveling Rhinos. i spun it on my Butterfly Girl Designs spindle. it is my first real skein of laceweight.
