Notes: In the last session of the spinning II class we were given various non-wool fibers to try spinning. I had some of the bleached tussah roving left so I spun it up into this gorgeous 2-ply yarn. Due to the shininess of the yarn and the brightness of the sun when I took the photo it is a bit overexposed. I hope to capture a better picture sometime soon.
