Day Twenty-One - Spinning

Today I spun for a couple hours. I've been working on this super thin yarn that will be plyed with another to make a crazy sock yarn. There are a total of 17 different colors and they are all a really nice merino wool.

I posted a animated gif file I made while spinning earlier this month, but you really can't see much of a dent on the two hours more I've added. It's so thin that it just doesn't add up quickly.

The colors may not look that great right now, but once plyed, the finished product will look closer to this other yarn (below) that I spun, only all of that was dyed with kool-aid and it's a much chunkier yarn.
