Spinning challenge



so here is some more fiber i am fixing to spin up for Dave's Summer Spinning Challenge:


I've got about 4 oz of the dark and 8 oz of the light . It's a superwash merino and the colors are light periwinkle? and a medium denim. The fiber is supersoft and has a lovely shine.

I'll try to spin it a thin as possible(maybe i can get it in a lace weight?) and then i'll probably ply it with some very thin mohair in a like color (or close to it) so it will full and stick to each other when woven.

I've got some Lyon Brand Moonlight Mohair that i'm going to separate, using the mohair strand to ply with.
Off to the wheel i go...

Yay, you're off to a great start! The colors are a nice combination.
