I seemed to be working on this for ages. It was 130g of Blue Faced Leicester,
(or Pink Faced possibly Wink

) and because I spun it over so many short sessions it ended up a bit uneven, which shows up in the plying. Hopefully it will knit up fine if I choose something lacy Very Happy

Very pretty.

Can't see that it is uneven, but you could always say it was intentional, a design feature Very Happy

Thank you everyone Smile

you are all very kind.
The colour is very pretty - a bit less zingy than it looks on my screen, and a bit more "rose bay willow herb crossed with buddleia"
It's still a way off what I'd like to achieve, but I'm getting there, and I'm having fun, which is the main thing really, isn't it?

I think it looks very nice indeed. I love the colours, and the spinning looks really even and consistent. This will make some lovely lace
