TdF 2013: Finally A Finish

It took me until Stage 14 to get a skein out of all those blue Merino locks.

It has turned out to be 94 grams of fuzzy, thick and thin yarn that I am not exactly ecstatic about.

I know it has to dry and be swatched before I reach a final verdict but I had high hopes for this labor intensive project and I am a bit disappointed. I know that my own processed fleece can't compare to commercially processed roving but I had thought I might see a bit of improvement over what is apparently now my default quality of spinning.

    I like the yarn photo with The Tour on in the background. I understand your disappointment, since you had your own expectations for your spinning. But honestly I think it looks great form here. p.s. happy anniversary!
