Closer Look at 2-Ply Handspun Ashland Bay

Spinning Progress!This is the most recent handspun off the wheel. It’s Ashland Bay Merino/Tussah 70/30 blend. I bought it as Estes Park Wool Market this year for a specific project that requires the colorway to be noted. While spinning it up it seemed to have a bit of a purple-like cast to it that just did not seem autumnal to me. Now after photographing it in natural sunlight and having looked at the colorways are various websites of purveyors of Ashland Bay I’m a little less dubious about the colorway. But, what do you thing? Have you spun the Autumn colorway? Is it a final color you wouldn’t necessarily call autumn?

And the unspun fiber shots (also taken in natural sunlight but almost a month ago so light conditions are likely not the same between it and the yarn and postprocessing was done separately as wel):

ETA: I’m not looking for a random name. I’m trying to identify which colorway of fiber it really is :-)
