Time For A Bit Of Raspberry Wine!
Unfortunately it's not smooth enough to drink! I promised myself that before I purchased any new spinning fiber I'd finish off the will-it-bleed-or-won't-it? fiber. Not counting this lot I have 3 left - and I didn't quite make it on the No-Buy, but that's a story for another day! LOL!
I also thick 'n thinned this lot too. It's hard to tell if I'm getting better at this or not as the size is supposed to be inconsistent! I am absolutely getting better at not over twisting the thinner parts. I did a hunt through my pencil roving to try to find something in this color range to ply with. Since I couldn't find enough of any one color I decided to make a multi-color solid single to ply with.
I always get such a kick out of pencil roving. All I can think of when I look at it, is it's lightning fast spinning fodder! I just picked up random lengths of these colors and spun them without any particular sequence. My only real aim was to get the singles really fine because I want them to be more of a binder and not to take away from the main feature of the yarn, which is it's texture, but rather add to it.
Raspberry Wine, 5.4 oz, 195 yds of soft pouffy fun!

I like the little 'spark' that the addition of the lavender colour gives it. You making me really want to sit at my wheel!
