For a change I did not use handspun yarn, but 100% superwash  wool I kept in my stash for years…

I bought a very interesting book about spindle spinning, and was tempted to spin some leftovers. I am (again) surprised about how fast this basic tool spinns!

I started with cyan and magenta, but the roving turned out too green and not enough purple.  I decided to dye one half again in blue, and the other half in purple.  I quiet like the result, allthough I consdider using a bit of brown and grey as well next time I want these colors…
