Fresh Off the Spindle: 50 Shades of Plum

After spending some time spinning thicker, bulky yarns I wanted to practice my technique for spinning thinner, DK/Sock weight yarns on my drop spindle. I worked with a lovely merino wool composed of varying shades of purple - thus I've decided to call it 50 Shades of Plum. I'm not sure if I will keep it as a single or if I will ply it.Opinions?

Tip of the Day: When spinning thin yarns, make sure that you have thoroughly pre-drafted your wool. If you forget to draft before you spin it is easy to end up with thinker spots on the skein. I find working with smaller sections of roving when spinning thin yarns helps me to create a consistent thickness.
