I choo choo choose you

After falling so hard for my first complete two-ply, I wanted to do more plying. Well, I wanted to run out and buy a new, heavier spindle, more roving for dyeing, and maybe even a spinning wheel, but for now plying more yarn had to suffice. Introducing, Valentine:

42 yards of bulky two ply, handdyed and handspun with Corriedale roving.

I also spun up my new longest skein ever, 65 yards with my purple merino. I tried to make this yarn a lighter weight, and was mostly successful. I could have spun for longer but was too excited for plying. Besides, I can ply this purple yarn with the 30 and 37 yard skeins already spun from that roving. Yay! This weekend I hope to get to the yarn tree to scope out better spindles.
