I just finished spinning a fantastic natural blend of Romney and Shetland wool. This roving was purchased from
smokeymountainfibers on etsy and it was a joy to work with!
I found that it drafted so easily and I was able to keep it pretty consistent, although almost thread-like. Because it was so fine, I decided to try doing 3 ply for the first time. And even with 3 ply, it is closest to a fingering weight that worsted.
It is a bit coarse so I'm sure this will make a great outer scarf filled with cables that pop. I'm thinking something along the line of an Irish design for this!
What's on your wheel?

It must be so relaxing to spin yarn. I am intriqued to see what you create with this wool! ~Val
