I finished spinning this plum and gold merino/silk bought from Jeni at Fyberspates at Rav Day and lovely it was to spin too. Another sample to add to my handspun Zig and Zag blanket which is coming along slowly.

I am so itching to try spinning, or even knitting with handspun. Lve the delicate colour blending in these - my favorite colours too!
You should give it a go - on a drop spindle maybe or you can borrow a wheel from your local guild. But it is highly addictive!!
