Another fun fun yarn - this one is all shades of green and teal blended with burgundy/purple. This is burgundy and green rambouillet wool from http://sarahwood3587.etsy.com that I spun almost in one night. It is lovely and soft!
I think that after this, I'll begin to list my yarn on etsy. What do you all think? I think it is good enough! And for me to say that - well, I'm pretty confident in my skills now. I think I was born to spin. I took to it so easily! Plus, it relaxes me, and if you know me then you know I need that. Ha!

So this is what I have been playing with on my drop spindle - a crazy blend of random fibers I've had in a bag, including locks that were dyed but left all curly and together. Parts of this skein are fluffy and thick, others are thin and candy-striped. I'm proud of it!
