fiber by FatCatKnits: colorway "Delight" Panda, 60% merino, 30% bamboo, 10% nylon.
This was so much fun to spin! I think it's the chunkiest yarn I've made so far, and it's NOT thick thin!
yarn: 151yds, 2-ply, 12 WPI
Every Spring I'm getting the urge to dye some fiber (but not to clean, weird). I'm spinning some of my last year dyed fiber, and will do some of these next. Except for the candy corn looking one, I like them all. I'm still going to spin it, and try to over dye the finished yarn. Should be fun!

I love the thick spun yarn, I have been trying to do that but it is a bit hit and miss! Lovely dye jobs, something which I haven't tried yet.

:-) looks like you are having fun
Your fiber looks like a basket of Easter Eggs, Monika. Beautiful colors! I don't get the urge to clean this time of year, either. Just knit with summer colors. Happy Easter to all of you!
i love the panda handspun! i've been meaning to try that blend. all of your dyed fiber is very pretty and colorful too. i can't wait to see what you do with it.
You did a beautiful job spinning that fiber! I'm always curious to see how different a fiber looks going from fiber to a finished yarn, in this case I'm shocked at how little it changed - the finished yarn is exactly what you'd expect (that is if you didn't know how much those colors usually change after they're spun!).
Lovely yarn! and I like the blue green fibre the best myself.
Your yarn is lovely, and the ones waiting to be spun (even the candy corn one) are pretty too!
Now that the weather is changing up, maybe I'll get the nerve to dye some yarn myself. I'm scared!
Your bulky yarn looks very even. Any plans for it? I love the two dyed rovings on the left. I definitely have a thing for aqua and red lately.
So pretty!
I love your handspun , but that blue/geen /purple batt is to die for . Can't wait to see it spun up !
It's beautifully spun! And reminds me of a pretty Easter egg :) It's too thick for a shawl ~ wonder what you'll make?
I love all your spinning! I really need to get more time to sit at the wheel.
your dyed roving looks awesome! you should sell it
Dear Monika,
I have just read your blog for the first time in a while. I was shocked to hear that Biko had died. I'm so sorry for your and David's loss, especially coming soon after Sam died.
Wishing you peace,
MargieinMaryland
Lovely yarn! Beautiful fibre. I love the colours!
A perfect rainbow!
