New Colors
I dyed a bunch of 1oz pieces of roving last week. Then I was stuck to figure out something to do with it. Yesterday I whipped out the drum carder and started cranking. I used white merino, yellow BFL, green merino and green Angelina flash.
The flash is the hardest to see but you can almost see it in this picture. It is spinning up into a very pretty combo. Different for me as I tend to lean more towards blues/pinks/purples. It should end up being a nice light worsted 2 ply.
So now I have the blue, purple and magenta pieces left so I think I will combine them with the white merino or white BFL. Angelina or not, I am not sure. I know it kind of makes it "novelty" yarn then but I use it very lightly and it seem really to be just a little sparkle. We will see what mood I am in when I card. I really need to get on a dyeing kick but I just haven't been in the mood this week. Just playing with what I already have done. Using stash is a good thing.

That's nice spinning. I can't wait 'til I get to that point.
You have chosen some nice spring colors.
