I am in love with this yarn I finished recently. I got a 4 oz. of hand-dyed Finn Wool Top from Hello Yarn in my Yarn School goody bag, but didn't want to spin it up until I was a bit better. I am so, so glad that I waited. Since I'm finally better at drafting, I was able to just spin from one end to the other, without dividing the top into strips. This allowed be to preserve the colors as they were. I also Navajo plied the singles so that I would have nice, long color repeats.

Here are the specs and some other shots. More details and photos are in my stash on Ravelry.

As for knitting, I'm still trucking through my brother's Smokin' jacket and Nadine's Snickets. Not too interesting. I ran into another snag with Smokin', so that's on hold . I'd love to finish up the socks, but I have the feeling I may be casting on for Rusted Root
