My first skein of hand spun on the wheel (I have a few tiny skeins of stuff that I've spun on my drop spindle). The roving I used is called "Pick and Super" which was described to me by the very cute and sweet couple at the place I bought my wheel as "a mix of different [wool] fibers". So I bought 200g of that and then 200g of this really gorgeous merino/silk roving that I might post pictures of tomorrow (I still haven't actually taken a picture of it).Avast is also almost done. I finished the yoke yesterday and I need to start the collar today which should go very quickly, and then knit some odd inches at the bottom and then it can get blocked!

Nice first skein! - Watch out though it is so addictive. I spend way more spinning than I do knitting these days.
You didn't waste any time! Very nice!
I found you over on Ravelry. Like your blog! :o)

I just saw that you got the wheel I always wanted to have. So now I'm really jealous. The wheel an the yarn look so nice.
