Spinning Away

I have been busy spinning the past few weeks and my most recent spin project was a pound or so of natural colored washed coopworth lamb fiber I purchased back in Jan 2008.  I know as I wrote the date on the back of their business card when I received it.  I divided it up and dyed them three different colors one shades of blue, the other shades of green and then this one - shades of purple

this fiber was so amazing to spin with , it still had lanolin in it even though it was washed and I washed it as well during the dye process.  Love this stuff.  I have most of it spun and plied in into a 2-ply dk weight / light worsted weight .










Here is the fiber on bobbins

Later I will post the pictures of it plied and the shawl I started with it.
