I blended some green and blue together to make the above yarn. It's all 100% wool. Romney to be specific. Someone thought it was mohair (its very hairy) I got aprox. 144 yards dk weight/heavy fingering.

Alright, you have gotta share how to make that spigot-head spindle. That is just too freakin cool!! (The yarn is, of course, lovely as well!)
