Spinning Batts

The last few weeks of fiber time have been devoted to spinning up some of the batts that I carded last month. I've been experimenting with plying the batts with handpainted rovings and with natural colored fibers. So far, I am really happy with the results, and I can't wait to see how the sample skeins knit up.
