spinning and playing…er… plying

Before I show you my new spindle, I have to share this with you – Presenting my first skein of 3-ply (chain plied) handspun and I love it! This is the first completed skein that I am truly pleased with.

4 oz, 106 yards. Blended Roving of 80% merino/20% colonial from CJ Kopec Creations.
