When I saw this wonderful colorway on Ravelry, I asked CJ Kopec Creations if she had any of it left. I did not know it was a repeatable colorway, but hurray, it is! I also didn't understand right away, that these are batts, but really wonderful prepared. I still had some difficulties spinning it, but I could deal with it. At first I thought I'd like to spin back and forth across all the colors of the batt, but that proofed too difficult for me. So I decided to divide the colors in teal/gray for one single, and black, burned orange and yellow for the second single. There was a lot more fiber for the second single, so I found some teal colored fiber in my stash for the second skein. I still had some leftover singles from the black, which I navajo plied. All 8oz of this wonderful fiber is spun up!
fiber: CJ Kopec Creations, 100% merino, colorway: Copenhagen
yarn: 2-ply, 2 skeins; 1. skein = 523yds, 2. skein = 308yds, both are around 15-17 WPI; had some leftover singles which I navajo plied.

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen. Gorgeous colours and you are so clever. I am in awe of spinners!!
Whau!
How beautiful!
I don't know anything about spinning, but what a stunning effect your spinning has given the yarn!
This is really beautiful. Handspun yarn never ceases to insipire me!
pretty! i just love batts. i should get back to spinning again.
Those are gorgeous! Wonderful colors.
Nice! I don't do a lot of spinning from batts either so I definitely have some issues with them as well. I like how the colors came out and didn't blur into each other.
It's all Greek to me , but man , oh man is that gorgeous ! Nicely done ...
ooo pretty :-)
Yum yum yum yum
Pretty, pretty, pretty! A well-prepared batt makes a big difference, doesn't it? You did a great job with it!
It always fascinates me how different the fleece looks once it's spun up.
Such a beautiful effect! Well done! I suppose you've already thought about a project for this one???
Beautiful spinning, Monika! You also have a lot of yardage (more than usual I think?). I can't wait to see this all spun up into something magical!!!!
Irgendwann werde ich mir wohl auch ein Spinnrad zulegen müssen. Du machst einem ja richtig Lust darauf.

Did you get all that yarn from a 4 oz batt?! OMG! I'm so impressed, not to mention jealous.
You did great! The yarn is lovely.
I'm trying to knit 198 yards of heaven, a ravelry pattern :-) will let you know how it turns out.
What a glorious palette there, the yarn looks simply gorgeous.
Beautiful! really, I just love your spinning and plying. I have to sit at my wheel and spin soon...
What a gorgeous colorway! This is some seriously pretty yarn!
I'm Danish, so I also like the name :-)
Can't wait to see what you make out of this!
