New handspun

I've got new handspun to share! I spindle spun a Crosspatch batt very finely, then plied it with two different rovings. Both were polwarth and silk. One was pink copper and other colors from a vendor at SOAR (sorry don't know which one). The other is my Glenn Jackson Bridge. About 750 yards and 5.5 ounces each.

Spun the polwarth blends and plied it all on my new Hansen MiniSpinner. The WooLee Winder made it go a little faster although I have trouble getting enough twist when I ply with the WW. Plied the first one twice, did better on the second one. It is simply amazing to me how much these two yarns vary considering one of the plies is the same in both.

What am I making with them? Yarn! (No other plans yet)

Love the wonderful tweediness of them. What a great spinner you are!
