Part of my whole let's expand my spinning repertoire, is to try new fibers. On that note I tried Targhee wool from Mountain colors purchased here in the 'Wilderness' colorway. Have you spun this stuff? It is so springy and easy to spin. This would actually be a really good yarn to start spinning on: the fibers have enough crimp and length to cling enough to form singles really easily. The one thing I didn't like was how muted the colors where--but that's just a personal color palette thing.
See I spun this:
and two-plied it here:
It's got purple, green, red, blue, and a little yellow. I thought about navajo plying the yarn, but I decided it would look better with a little more blending of the colors.Ignore the horrible pictures. My camera has decided it hates taking pictures of yarn. My pink roving comes out orange-y, my blues and purples completely blend together and come out fuzzy--not to mention the purple becomes blue. I don't use flash and take my pictures with indirect light as much as possible.
