Handspun
This yarn is from one of the rovings I dyed at Shakerag! I overplyed it - I love how it looks, but probably wouldn't knit with it this way - too much twist.
This skein is from the roving I bought from Lori while I was at Shakerag.
Same skein over-twisted ply.
These two are from rolags I purchased from the Bees Knees - http://homepage.mac.com/beesknees/bkwebpage/homepage.html. I'm stashing blues to make a throw or rectangle shawl.
Two ounces of Merino and angora from http://thewoolenrabbit.typepad.com/thewoolenrabbit/. I've got other colors to spin from the same vendor - similar colorings.
Alpaca pencil roving plyed white with black. I think I've got about 2 lbs. (not all spun yet!), I don't remember what I was wanting to knit with this - probably a shawl. I think it would be too hot to wear for anything else.

Wow, Kandy!! i'm in love with the white and black alpaca yarn. it is spectacular and i want to see what you knit with it. you have great photos on your blog. oh, and your overspun yarns look really pretty!
Kandy, they are eye candy. Absolutely gorgeous. How can you tell if it's over plied. I have been trying to get just that look with mine.
