I loaded my carder like this:
And made Rolags:
I spun them into singles, and plied it with some orange lace weight yarn I had.
The pictures are a bit washed out from too much sunshine. It should be interesting to see how this knits up.
I've got 414yds of it. What to do with it though?
I kind of regret plying it with lace yarn. I just wanted to get more yardage out of it, and if I had chain plied it, who knows what I could have done with that, but now I wish I had chain plied it. Oh well.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

I love the photo of the fibre on the carder. It looks like an impressionist painting. Beautiful colours!
It's gorgeous as it is! But maybe you can order another Batt Pack and chain ply that one. :)
I actually love it plied with the orange! I can't wait to see what it looks like knit up!
Your new yarn is so pretty! B that sure was a lot Iof carding, but looking at the yarn, it was worth it.
You do realize that you're only one step away from processing your own fleece, right? LOL
It's absolutely gorgeous! What a fun box of fiber to receive ~ I always find that a special yarn like this works best with a simple pattern. Maybe Boneyard or the age of brass and steam kerchief?
Inspired by you and your gorgeous handspun, I now have a spinning wheel (Louet Victoria) and some more fibers, and I am going to spin! I'm SO EXCITED. I promise not to tell my husband that it was you that inspired the spinning project. :)
Anyway, your yarn is so beautiful. SO SO gorgeous. What about a hat and neckwarmer with it?
What a wonderful wool, love the colourcombination ;-)
