First skein of hand spun - Part One

I started with three pieces of prepared roving purchased from the yarn shop.

Some of the roving was pre-colored

 ~ white, tan, and butter yellow ~

Tan and yellow pieces because I was curious to see how it would work with dying.

After some experimenting with Kool-aid coloring, Saran Wrap, the microwave, 

more Kool-aid coloring, 

over-dying the tan piece of roving a second time,

 and spinning the poor tortured roving ..

..the spindle looked like this:

About 70 yards of single ply.

Wound into a ball ..

Love the way the colors came out!
