First up is a 50/50 Superwash Merino/Tencel roving in my India Spices colorway spun two-ply into a DK weight yarn.
Here is the roving.
And here is the finished yarn. I love how this turned out!
The next custom spinning job was to spin 4 ounces of my Treasure Chest custom fiber blend batts (romney wool, yearling mohair and tussah silk). I ended up with over 300 yards of sport weight yarn and I love the luster and drape to this!
Here are the batts before spinning
And here is the finished yarn
And now on the wheel is Chocolate Cherry Delight - a mixture of milk chocolate merino and cherry bamboo.
Next up is a custom dye order in my Fall Leaves colorway on Polwarth roving. Then I'll spin 8 ounces of it up into a two-ply yarn and 4 ounces into a navajo-plied yarn.
What are you creating?

WOW Brenda...your spins always give me so much inspiration. The India spice is a candy corn faery...the treasure chest is a mermaid swimming deep with the whales and the chocolate cherry delight is of course an elf sitting and eating a box full of chocolate covered cherries...LOL!! Thank you..they are all beautiful.
Hugs,
