Brown/Pink Three Ply

I'm making this into this...

My weekend was mostly spent on it.  

The first single of my planned three ply yarn from the Stitches roving.  And yes, I made a new little drop spindle. The two I already own have singles in progress that I didn't want to remove or finish first.  

See how much I have!  That wool rat is longer than my palm.  The wire is coat hanger and the whorl is about a 2" diameter (for scale).  I don't know how much more I can fit on the spindle.  My stubborn nature wants to spin it all as one continuous single, I'm thinking that won't happen though.   

Or this for scale!  You can see it's a bit thick-thin, not bad though.  

I pulled off the dyed mohair, then I split the brown wool down the middle, for three separate singles.  The only thing is that the ball of brown I've been spinning from doesn't seem any smaller (it's the bottom left ball).  In this photo it seems larger than the untouched brown ball, go figure.  

I'm pretty excited about this stuff.  

Stash Enhancement!

Purchases at Stitches Midwest this weekend.


Wool/Mohair roving. The pink is the mohair.



I'm planning on spinning the pink as it's own single, then splitting the brown and spinning two more singles and plying all three together.





Happy Feet sock yarn, I bought what should (crossing fingers) be a sweaters worth.






Alpaca, yum. Black, brown, and camel plied together.






Some wool/nylon sock yarn to knit Josh a pair of gloves with.
