Spinning

I've begun a new spinning project and I'm looking forward to making spinning a regular habit again.  I've gotten out of the spinning habit over the past year, but it's time to get back!

This is Malabrigo Cloud fiber (100% Superwash Merino) in Aniversario and I have a total of four braids, which will be enough for a sweater.  I'm working on a three ply fingering weight yarn and I'll be spinning a total of six bobbins for the singles.  I've messed with the fiber some to change up the way the colors work on each of the plies, so we'll see how that works.  This bobbin and the second are being spun the full width of the roving, for the longest sections of each color.  Future bobbins will be spun from roving that is split lengthwise, making shorter color runs on bobbins 3 and 4, and the shortest bits of color on bobbins 5 and 6.  Fingers crossed that this does what I want it to.  (No, I didn't sample.)

If none of this makes sense, stick around and as I get more done, hopefully you'll be able to see what I'm talking about from the photos!
