Done and Ready
I finished the merino/bamboo roving last night. It is now a very beautiful 2 ply with 350 yards to the 4oz of fiber I had. I am going to use it for the Diamond Fantasy. Should be enough for a small version and there should be about 15 yards of extra when I ply the rest of the leftover single.

Here is a close up of the color. It is basically pink but has hints of orange with some white mixed it. Should make for some nice lace.
It has the nicest shine to it and is very soft. I think I want more merino/bamboo.
I am plugging along on the Kimono Shawl but I only am getting about a half a repeat done per day (its 24 rows long) so it will be a long process. This other shawl should be a fun distraction as the yarn is heavier and the pattern is so different.
I am not sure what to spin up next as I currently have so many nice batts/rovings sitting around. Maybe I need to find a project and spin for that instead of just spinning to spin which I do a lot of.

Is this the same yarn that was on the bobbin a post or so ago? It looks much different plied....a lighter color I think. You are a very consistent spinner. Very pretty, I can't wait to see what you come up with when you knit it.
