This is Terrestrial: 110gr of Bond wool top
and this is Delicate: also 110gr Bond wool top
Anyway, as I said, I've spun up Terrestrial first into a 3-ply sock yarn. I did two strands of Terrestrial and one strand of grey Corriedale. Here are the bumps before spinning:
These turned into 360yds of sock yarn:
I think it's very manly, and a little bit boring, but I still like it. Bond fiber gave me a little trouble at first, but I soon got used to it. I could see the difference on the bobbins, because the first one I spun ran out of singles a lot earlier. I had spun more of the grey Corriedale too, so I had left overs on two bobbins, which made me clear two other bobbins with left overs, to make another 3-ply yarn.
I only got ~ 70 yds of this one, but I really like it a lot. The Pale Aqua of the third strand did a lot for it.
And here they are together:
Wishing you all a wonderful, lazy weekend!

Love the sleepy puppy shots. It is the sunbeam nap attack. We get that here too.
I am absolutely amazed at the finished result of your spinning. So reliably even!
I started spinning last Autumn, but have never yet had a result like that. How long have you been at this?

Hope you have a great weekend too.
Lovely - but I want to see that delicate spun-up!
Those are gorgeous again, of course. I'm so envious.
Beautiful spinning, and lovely sleepy pups. I like the way that they are so interchangeable in pairs: Happy and Denny, Happy and Maggie, Denny and Maggie: every combination!!
Monika- I like your shopping philosophy- my fiber fast hasn't been too successful.
Do you ever sell the yarn you spin? They are beautiful!
