That top photo shows the unwashed skein, the skein in the second photo, far left shows what a difference a nice soak in water will make in a skein's appearance. I often feel the same after a nice hot bubble bath!
That skein is BFL/silk blend dyed by Natural Obsessions ( sadly no longer in business) the color way is Herb Shoppe. I split the entire roving in half lengthwise and spun each on bobbins from the same end, then 2 plied those singles. There is 522 yards, WPI? This was spun on my Roberta.
Going on, left to right:
The next two skeins were not in this batch but we're still hanging to dry when I took the picture. A cameo appearance of the Enchanted Knoll Batts yarn.
Alpaca 100 % koolade dyed by my daughter. 47 yards, 6 WPI 2 ply.
Weslendale fiber dyed by Painted Tiger color way Fairy Ring. 165 yards 2 ply 11 WPI.
Angora/ dyed silk batt by Fluffington Farms, color way Dreamsicle. Two skeins spun on the Ashford traditional with the lace flyer. WPI ? 80 and 36 yards 2 ply.
