The resulting yarn


Well, this is the yarn that resulted from the roving I dyed. I rather like it, even though I didn't know what it'd end up looking like. It's fingering weight, probably can use a size 2 to 3 U.S. knitting needle, and I believe I have enough (2 skeins) to make a pair of socks with it. I'll have to knit a swatch to see what it looks like when knitted up.

The next one is a close-up. It's a 3-ply yarn, made of Bluefaced Leicester wool, quite soft. I used the Navajo 3-ply method, which I find is a bit faster than using three spools.
