Purple Unicorn - Corriedale

What the fiber looked like before:
Dyed fiber

The spun sample of about 6 grams on my wheel and made into a 3-ply:

Corriedale has a longer staple length that makes it easier to spin. Corriedale is also a nice soft squishy fiber that can be worn next to your skin.

Enchanted Forest Merino

This is what the fiber looked like:

I spun up a 4gram sample on a spindle and made a 2-ply yarn here it is:

With Merino what isn't to like. It is soft and buttery, so much so I tend to spin it rather thin.
