I have also finished spinning all Grace's purple, overdyed the beaded yarn I spun and did some more blue/grey merino.
I have also had my first try of Navaho (chain) plying as well and am so happy with the new wheel. So much easier to control the tension etc on a wheel with scotch tension. I liked the colours in the EGMTK Deep earth merino, suri alpaca and silk blend that I purchased a few more bags and will navaho ply all of it to hopefully keep the colours nice.
Tomorrow will see the machine having a run while I have some mending to do and make a small bean bag for Tess.

Your jacket looks very nice Katherine. I bet spinning is very relaxing. Sharyn:)
