It's nearly done! The spinning went well until my drive band started fraying. (Grrrr) I spun Shawn straight up. Then I blended the rambouillet with the merino, CVM/angora, and some dorset (not the coopsworth lamb, which was too short). It made a lovely heather. So nice, I think I'll do my next pound of this heather blend. So this is what one pound of handspun looks like before dyeing.
