My spin on Easter

I've had a good time with spinning lately. I LOVE spinning the Llama/Silk blend. I got so confident that I figured I could spin while watching Bride & Prejudice last week. Rather than use the single I'd already completed, I spun more. I even had time to ply them during that last musical number.Here we have the original fiber, a ball of the first single I spun, and the yarn I spun & plied during the movie. Notice anything? The single is far less than half the thickness of the yarn. Now why would that be? Perhaps the spinner wasn't paying quite as much attention? Nooo... couldn't be. There must be something wrong with the fiber. (Actually, after I washed & dried the skein it evened out and looks much better)

Time to try another fiber? Of course! PFD (project focus disorder) isn't just for knitting.

Yesterday I managed to spin all 2oz of this peachy-keen fiber.
It didn't make much, but I love it anyway. I do wish the coppery threads would have showed up at least a little in the finished product, but oh well. I haven't decided if I want to keep it as a single or ply it. Maybe if shuttles has more of this color I can... NO. STOP. Anyway, in between spinning sessions, I made semolina rolls from punkin's recipe. They were a huge hit at the family Easter occasion. Mom almost tackled me when I tried to leave with the leftovers.
