I decided to spin the “Heather” roving that I dyed (see Thistles and Heather) into a thick single, then ply it with some thread. While I was trying spin it on the drop spindle I discovered that it’s really hard to spin an even, thick yarn. I ended up with a sort of “thick and thin” novelty yarn, which is rather pretty. I have no idea what I’ll do with it, though.

"Heather" Yarn

The colors turned out grayer than I’d thought they’d be, which is nice because that’s what I was originally hoping for.
