Cotton Candy

Here is my first smaller project. I got these batts from Franquemont Fibers (there's a link in the sidebar) and they are just beautiful. Abby called them Cotton Candy but the color really reminds me of ballet slippers. They are Merino/Silk/Kid Mohair and I'm spinning them into a three ply. I haven't done very much 3 ply yarn and I might never have done it with three separate bobbins. (I have done a bit of Navajo plying but I can't remember if I've done it the other way.) I got 4 ounces of this and what you see below is actually the second bobbin of singles that I am just getting started on.

Looks lovely, so soft and fluffy! It should be great as a three ply. I've only done Navajo plying for three ply, but I want/need to try it from three bobbins next.
This is delicious!! I can't wait to see what you do with it. I know it will speak to you. It might even whisper my name, so listen carefully!! : ) Mindy
OH MY...that GORGEOUS!! I love cotton candy so much I'd be afraid I'd try eating it!
Looks like soft billowy clouds!!!!! Just Beautiful! As always I am amazed at your work!
Cotton candy for sure! Looks just like something I've seen at the Boardwalk....; )
Can't wait to hear what it "says"!
