THE POINT OF ALL THAT SPINNING

I plied the two singles into yarn and then I prepared the roving to spin the next two singles.  The fluffier roving on the left is the same length/weight as the one on  the right but I have stretched or attenuated the roving which opens up the fibers after being compacted by dyeing and drying.  I love how it makes the fibers light and airy and it calls me to be spun!
Here is a close up of how the yarn looks on the bobbin right after plying the two singles together.
And here is the skein of 230 yards of 2ply yarn, 
about a DK weight of superwash Merino.
