Various dyed fibers in this batch, from left to right:
Merino/tencel dyed by Bonkers. This 17 WPI, 230 yard 2 ply was spun on my Ashford traditional with a lace flyer.
Enchanted Knoll art batt spun bulky on my Roberta. This skein is 100 yards 6 WPI 2 ply. There is a second skein (see photo batch four) that is 72 yards, 7 WPI.
Portuguese Wool Top dyed by Painted Tiger color way Portagallo. This was a challenge skein. First I split the fiber fractal for spinning. I made four singles, but planned them so that those 2 ply would make a cabled yarn. It is an amazing yarn. 135 yards, 12 WPI 4 ply.
Mohair 100% dyed by Majora Acres. Sample skein, 38 yards. Spun on drop spindle.
Merino/ tencel dyed by Damselfly fibers. 225 yards, 18 WPI 2 ply. Spun on the traditional with lace flyer.
Merino tencel combo skein of the green and pink yarns. I want to put those colors together in a project and as I was spinning it I decided to see if I like the singles plied together. I do but not for a whole project. It was a good visual test though of what the two colors looked like together.
Milk fiber 100%. Tiny sample of the fiber made a tiny test skein spun on the Royal Hair spindle.
