I loved spinning up this soft, bouncy fiber. It was an easy spin which I spun fractally, splitting one half of the braid into 8ths and one half into 3rds. No specific project earmarked for this, although it's a guy-friendly enough colorway I might use it for a hat or other accessory for the Mittens for Akkol group.
Currently on the wheel is a set of 1-oz colorways from a 4-color Potions Pack, dyed by Two If By Hand. Colorways include: Luna Lovegood, My Little Pony, Shimmer and Fairy Wings. I'll be spinning these up into little mini skeins and then will use them (and possibly also the other 2 packs' worth I've got) for striped socks or mittens.
I've got the first oz spun up, and I've started on the singles of the second. Probably won't get much work done on these this weekend while I'm visiting with family, but will get back to them next week.
