Finally finished spinning the Zinnias merino roving. It took me two weeks (of spinning off and on, not hours at a time!) to get the first half of the roving spun fine and smooth so I decided to Navajo-ply that bobbin and I spun the second half of the roving thick and thin bulky and plied it with a coordinating cotton thread.
I'm knitting up the N-plied yarn (the bottom skein in the photo) using a dropped stitch pattern to make a long scarf.
Then I'm going to use this yarn as fringe on one edge of the scarf, which will make it almost like a shawl. This Rainbow yarn is tailspun Teeswater locks spun by Esther at Jazzturtle.
And the finished scarf/shawl should look something like this
Except I may not cut the tailspun yarn to make fringe, I may crochet it along the outside edge of the scarf instead. I'll have to play with it to see what works best.
Tomorrow I'll try to post what's on the wheel right now and what's waiting in the spinning queue.
Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Love those colors and I like that scarf/shawl. I can't wait to see what you decide on how to to yours.
I never know what to say about your yarn projects except that they are really beautiful!
