I started this on a drop spindle, which accounts for one end of it being a bit slubby. 85 yards of merino sliver. It will probably become socks for the bug.
I didn’t particularly like the color while I was spinning it, but it has turned out to be a very nice subtle color. Will the color the resulting yarn becomes ever stop surprising me? Or is that just half the fun?
It’s a very lovely color, Shells!

I think it is gorgeous. Is it actually called sliver like sliver of merino or was that a typo for silver?

No typo,
Sliver: also (slī’vər) A continuous strand of loose wool, flax, or cotton, ready for drawing and twisting.
Frankly, it wasn’t that loose, it was some of the tightest roving I have ever spun, but it was labeled sliver.
