So I figured the some spinning I started last week would be a welcome short break. I  started with some Opps basic blend batts and a wool/ mohair batt. I used the wool/mohair batt to make nubs in the spinning and tried to keep the bbb spinning very even. I decided to ply with a silk thread dyed turquoise. Here is what I ended up with.
