Old and New
So I finally finished the Watermelon yarn. It turned out how I had hoped, similar to all the pink and green yarns I have been looking at. Of course spinning it vs just dyeing it gives it a little different finished result I like it. Here it is piled up.
Then I skeined it up. It is funny how yarns take on a much more serious look when skeined up nice and neat instead of a big pile. Here's the serious pose. 
I have also dyed more roving to spin but first I need to spin for my swap buddy for the July installment. I have decided on a beaded yarn this time. I am going to spin a totally natural BFL roving then ply it with a natural cotton strung with a selection of beads that came premixed in a color combo called "vanilla", should look nice when it is done. Here is what I plan to spin after the plainer yarn. I call it Carnival and it should be a great change after the "Vanilla" yarn.
I couldn't for the life of me get the red right. It is much more cherry colored then the orangey color the camera caught but you get the idea.

Holy cow, I got a talented pal! I LOVE the watermelon colorway. I agree that the other one looks like snow cones.

Amazing yarn, Cayli! You're such an artist. And I think you're right, yarn tends to take on a different air in skeins.
Your vanilla sounds great, too.
