I finally started spinning one of the fibers I got from the Hello Yarn Fiber Club. This is the November 2007 fiber – Superwash Corriedale Wool Top. It’s called ‘Toxic’. It has a longer staple than merino, which took some getting used to. I’ve read that Merino is harder for beginner’s to spin because of it’s short staple, but I never had issues with Merino. I think this fiber is more of a challenge.
I started out with a goal of spinning singles but part way through, I decided I wanted a 2 or 3-ply. So I put the singles on a tp roll and have started again. (Talk about fiber with an identity crisis. 
)
I totally had another post in mind when I found all these photos of my camera.
Enjoy! 
Simply “intoxicating”! That’s some fine looking roving you’ve got there!
Oh my gosh, what amazing colors. I could stare at the pictures for days on end!!!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Great photos, and glad to see that you’re still working on the spinning. I’ll bet that you found that prepping the fiber, while a lot of work, makes the spinning go much more smoothly. That’s going to be some beautiful yarn when you’re done.
What vibrant colors!!
