So here the tossed fiber being spun. i spun it super super soft, used barely any tension and i didn't draft it at all. i just let every clump get spun as it was. this means you better like the quality of the locks and fiber to begin with, because they don't change much in the spinning. i had some green merino locks in here that were really short staple and kind of lumpy...but not in a great way. so i was a little unhappy with those parts when they came along. i ended up trying to smooth them down a little. so for next time: use only the finest ingredients when tossing. As for the thick and thin quality- well that was inherent. especially since the bulk of this stuff was silk. silk has such super long fibers, and can spin so thin, that it was the perfect binder to hold all the big irregular chunks together.

here are some cool spots from the yarn: (i apologize for the blurriness...my basement is very dim!)
