I’m kind of amazed how quickly I flew through spinning up the January 2010 Hello Yarn Fiber Club roving. It arrived in my mailbox on the 11th (I think), I photographed it on the 14th, and then it was on the wheel that night. The yarn was done by the end of the week, finished on the 23rd, and dry in time to be photographed on Friday.

Okay, that doesn’t sound so quick when I put numbers on it, but considering I have spinning projects that can take me a month or two from start to finish, depending on what other things catch my interest, this was blindingly fast.

Singles!

I chose to spin this up as singles, since I don’t do singles very often. I’ve been itching to do them, and when Adrian planted the suggestion in the Hello Yarn group when she posted the spoiler pictures, I knew this was the one. These came out so soft and buttery. It still has a bit of an itch to me because it’s mohair, but it’s definitely one of the softest and lightest yarns I’ve spun. Of course I went for fingering weight, since I really don’t knit with anything else, and I can see this becoming a really nice lacy scarf.
