I have just added this yarn to my Etsy shop tonight. "Plaything" is 235 yards of 100% Merino yumminess.
It was spun from the FreckleFaceFibers roving I mentioned a few days ago. Finished it a little later than I'd hoped, what with the spinning workshop and hanging out with my mom, who was staying with me for a week or so. But, it's in the shop now and I'm quite happy with the way it turned out!

Back in business, baby!
So, I went to check the mail the morning and found 2 beautiful, bouncing rovings waiting for me! Can we guess what I'll be doing today???
This one is from Squoosh on Etsy, cloud soft BFL in the "Testament" colorway.
And this one, from FatCatKnits (also on Etsy), squishy Falkland combed top in "Roadside Slush". It's too soon to say, but I just might have to keep the yarn from this one... I'm a sucker for brown and the shades in this roving are incredible - from natural to chocolate, golden amber to burnt maroon - so gorgeous!
Here's a sneak peak at the yarn I've been spinning from this FreckleFaceFibers roving - Handpainted Merino in "Spring Fling".
Since Goliath only has one bobbin (which, by the way, does not make him any less of a man), I have to wind each single into a centerpull ball before I can ply them. This is the first half. The other one will be done today, and the yarn plied and washed. Hopefully I will have the finished product available in my shop tomorrow!
