I promised brighter pictures, and they can be found at the etsy listing. I cannot get wordpress to upload my pictures right now, so the listing will have to do!

Figgy Pudding BFL
I’ll have more and better pictures of this just as soon as we see some sunshine around here, but I wanted to get it posted.
390 yards sock weight yarn spun from Chameleon Colorworks figgy pudding colorway.
I keep saying that I do not like spinning BFL, but this was wonderful to spin. So apparently I had gotten some BFL that was low quality.
In other news, I spun up another hank of the coopworth roving. I concentrated on spinning not only a bit thinner, but lighter. My tendency is to press hard on the coopworth fibers because it is so hard to get them smooth, this causes me to use more roving for yard of yarn and gives me a heavy final product. So I had to think light and airy. Luckily coopworth is pretty forgiving, so even though I spun light and a bit thick and thin, after a good wash and whack, it turned into light even yarn. So that was most certainly a learning experience for me!
