Handspun at last

Polworth fiber from Greenwood Fiber works. In Coral and Figs. this is a3-ply. About 120 yards of the Coral and 85 yards of the Figs, plus the extra. The little ball of singles were spun in a different direction on a drop spindle, so they could not be incorporated into the yarn. I'll try chain plying that on the spindle for fun later.

The last time I spun yarn was the end of June. I have finished all the sample knitting, and all the Christmas knitting, and now it's fun time again.
