Here are the singles (Crown Mountain Farms Superwash Merino in Touch Me color way):
And (taDA!) the finished yarn:
I had a little left over at the end of one bobbin so I Navajo-plied the rest:
And here they are with some of the unspun fiber:
I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing how the colors change as you put them through the different steps - or techniques. So cool!
I think this is the finest and most consistently spun yarn I've made so far. I spun a touch over 4 ounces and came out with about 540 yards of 3-ply (470 regular ply and the remainder is the Navajo). With my lack of height, heck I could make a pair of thigh-highs with all of that yardage. Hmm...wool thigh-highs. Yeah, that's HOTT...
*I can only imagine what kind of searches that title's going to bring to this blog...

Well done! It is really neat to see how the roving changes to yarn and the color changes through plying. Thanks for showing us!!!
I have some crown mountain on the way. I hope it turns out as well as yours!
Nice job! Your spinning is so even, and I love the colors.
Nice colors! I also like the labels you're using, rather than my little tiny labels, or the lack of labels on some of my handspun....
Ooh baby--wool thigh-highs.....you'd be starting a new fashion trend!
Wait--didn't legwarmers just come back in style....?
Gorgeous!
Ya know, winter is coming. Wool thigh highs might be an idea.
it's gorgeous Rachel! I love it.
