Polwarth/Silk

I finished spinning and plying the Dragonfly Fiber roving that I've been working on for the past few weeks on Tuesday nights. It is 107g/3.8oz and 294m/322yd. I could have chain-plied it to avoid the 'barber poling' but wanted a 2 ply and corresponding yardage.
I saw lots of lovely fibre on the weekend at the Prince Edward County Fibre Festival but already have TONS of rovings in my stash. I exercised self-restraint, for once.

My spinning will probably never be really consistent. I don't really work on consistency, rather, I just spend the 2 hours a week on it and like to get projects done, rather than done to perfection.

One of these days I'll knit something with some of my handspun. Or not.
