From Roving to Yarn

I went ahead an spun up two spindles full of the roving. I remembered to draft the roving first, which made the process go pretty quickly. The yarn varied in thickness depending on how much roving was pulled off the original mass. I suppose that as you get better at this, you pull off pieces of roving that are similar in size, and thus your yarn doesn't have such variation.

Here is what I got. After I had two spindles full, I decided to go ahead and ply it together. It was getting late, and I made a terrible mistake. I plied it the wrong way, ie. I used the same spin as when I was spinning it - clockwise. Luckily, I remembered pretty quickly, unwound, and then starting plying in the right direction.

It is super bulky and the colors are dreamy shades of blue, green, lavendar & gold. Not bad for my first try at dying & spinning!
