Happy squooshy relaxed yarn. Clearly I'm being drawn to particular color themes lately.

Yarn Still Seeking Destiny
A brief review: this pencil roving was great to spin. Easy on my hands and almost no nepps or anything else that slowed me down. I couldn't really tell that the nylon was there This roving was unique in that the pencil roving was already split in 2 lengthwise, making it very easy to separate, though, clearly, I did not spin evenly enough to get exact matching and discrete color regions.
The colorway, spun up, makes me think of faded deep pink roses, the end of life browning seeping through the petals. Very vintage-y. Very warm.

And why shouldn't you be drawn to these colors? After all - summer is just around the corner!
Beautiful. It's amazing how the yarn looks after its bath.
Lovely! Ditto the color themes: everything I'm attracted to spin is orangy-coral these days, and I don't even wear the color.
I love that sequencing of photos over the process. Yes, color themes, but that is fine. Some of us are routinely guilty of such things.
