Last night, instead of spinning tons of roving only to set the twist and find out that I did it all wrong and made a great big mess, I decided to do a small bit. And here it is:

It's messy. It's bumpy and lumpy. But it isn't a bad first try. I tried a little more today, so I'll keep at it until I have something thin enough to ply and actually use ;)

I'm proud and honored to make a comment. Congratulations on your first skein. It's not the least bit bumpy, just a bit over twisted, but what fun novelty yarn!
Draft a bit more and let a bit more twist run up into the puff that you've drafted. Experiemnt with loose spun and tightly spun yarn to get a command of your spindle twist.
I'd be honored to have a picture of my spindle with your pretty yarn too.
Keep up the great work!

Duhhh, I didn't scroll down far enough, I see my little pretty spindle with the yarn on the shaft.
Lovely, lovely.
