Spinning merino top...

...isn't so bad after all. I got to thinking after I wrote the last post about my spinning adventures, I've been spinning a little while now, I should at least try the merino top again, maybe it won't be as hard now. So, I did it and it went pretty smoothly, oh and it's pretty and smooth all right! I'm really like how it turning out. I dyed this 64 count merino top months ago and it's been sitting in my shop, I love the colorway, when done in the yarn it sells out fast; the colorway is Oceania, a personal favorite of mine. I'm partial to the colors of the sea.
So, here is the top after it's dyed...

...and the fiber after I have divided it in half and then again into 4 pieces. So, 8 strips all together in short manageable sections for spindling...

...and here is what I've spun so far, looking pretty smooth, not perfectly even, but good for me I say...

...and here's a shot of the awesome spindle from Zebisis Designs. Awesome lady, she gave me this spindle free when I ordered my other one, the pink one. I absolutely love them both! A joy to spin with...

...and in case you wanted to see the yarn! (mill spun)
