Speed Spinning

Ever since the LYS called to say bring more yarn down I have been going crazy trying to spin up a bunch more as she really wanted a good showing of the beaded yarns. So here is what I managed to get done since Friday night. First was a multi colored cotton with beads and a natural BFL. medium_roving_to_yarn_088.jpg I only got one of these done but could do more if she likes it. Next up was a multi colored batt that I made up with the 1 ounce pieces of roving I dyed before combined with Angelina in a fushia and silver beads very lightly and burgandy commercial wool. This turned out very nice I think. medium_roving_to_yarn_084.jpg I managed to get 2 skeins of this combo done. Last but not least is a red on red yarn with red beads. I love this combo even if it is VERY hard to photograph. It actually has tons of beads but since everything is similar in color it is more subtle. I also got 2 skeins of this done. medium_roving_to_yarn_087.jpg I think next up is some of the Rambouillet roving that I dyed last week. I have about 6oz dyed in yellow and magenta spots. It should turn out nice as a 2 ply with no beads. I am kind of beaded out from the weekend. Stringing all of the beads doesn't take that long but it is something I don't really enjoy. I did most of it in the car riding around to do errands. I love getting something done while in the car. That way I don't feel like I am wasting time.
