...because this post is all about the spinning! This is my new roving, which I started spinning last night. It's a merino/tussah silk blend, and it is the softest, finest thing in the world. Pictures don't do it justice. The silk gives it a subtle shine and the colors are blending into a stunning pale green with hints of pink. I suspect the finished yarn will have to become a pair of wristwarmers, just so I can wear them all the time and stare at them.

On the other end of the subtlety spectrum, we have the Blue Peeps Yarn! It was so exciting that it needed to be photographed in a more interesting setting than the usual white window seat, so it gets to hang out in the geranium jungle. There's about 43 yards of it after plying, just enough to make something ornamental, like a stripe on a hat or a flower pin. I may have to wait for inspiration to strike, but the yarn certainly won't have a problem with catching my eye.
