Aurelia fiber with yarn sample

the way this fiber is processed makes it easy to spin for totally different effects. for this sample, i pulled a length of a color
off the roving, spun that and repeated til there was some of each color. then plyed it to itself. also, spun a single this way
and plyed it with black. the other way i tried was to spin from the roving without separating the colors first, then ply it with
itself. am not as pleased with the last as it really looks muddied up to me. will post pics of 2nd and 3rd yarns later. the
website for this fiber is: http://www.aureliawool.com/


here's a swatch of the 3rd yarn described (more muddied looking) and the separated colors single plyed with black.
and i have no idea what it will become after it
is spun.
