Handspun sock yarn



Last week I finished spinning a skein of sock yarn. The details:
Fiber: Blue-faced Leicester roving from Maggie's farm
Colorway: Purple Tweed
Yardage: 110

Soft and lustrous! Only one skein so far, but there's more roving, so I should get at least one more skein's worth of yarn from it.

Pretty! You are motivating me to ply my sock yarn.

Wow! You do such a good job with my fiber! I sent some of this out to be machine spun - big mistake. It looks so much prettier the way you spin it!

This is the same fiber that I made the mittens from, and after washing it, ooo la la! it turned out so soft and warm! Lovely wool!
