This week in spinning

Chris dyed this roving and when I first saw it, I was not thrilled. Orange and green? What was he thinking? I teased him about it so much that I started to feel bad. I decided to give it a chance and spin it for him. Who knows, maybe this ugly duckling would turn into a swan!

Well, now I've got mud on my face because this handspun is gorgeous! Just goes to show you really can't judge roving until it's spun. It's incredible how much it changes from beginning to end. Spinning is magic.

 Sorry Chris, I was wrong, you were right. This colour combo really does work.
