Spun & Washed

Since going back on this spinning kick - I’ve been making actual yarn! What it’ll be used for, who knows. It’s all about the process baby!
Top left to bottom right:
* Alice. a corriedale sheep. Navajo Plyed. That’s a three ply - done using a crochet method. I was having problems with my wheel (the bobbin wasn’t spinning as it should) and while the yarn seems ok, I think I’ll prefer a softer less "hard" yarn.
* Purple-ish Roving from the LYS spun up into a 2 ply yarn. This is the one with the slightly tighter plying. I really like how this came out and will attempt to continue spinning some like it.
* Same roving as above, but very loosely plied into a 2 ply yarn. Ok yarn, I’ll use it somewhere, but I like it plied tighter.
