Tonight I carded some of Shadow's fiber, a beautiful black with some dyed Angora. Just enough to make 1.65 oz of bat to finish the second spool so they could be plied together.
Here it is being spun into a single ply. The angora gives it an interesting texture, color and good stability. I ran the two together through the carder three times which mixed the colors and two different fibers together well. It made spinning them easy to work with, and they flowed well.
Drafting it on worsted style.
After plying, it gets taken off the spool onto a niddy noddy and secured. It is then taken off and washed to clean and set.
Finished product before washing. You can see the colors blended through the black.
