Lavender Merino

This was a TDF prize
from: Fiber Detours Boutique
Ashford
100% Merino Lavender  100 grams
Really soft but I found the fibers were quite irregular on the short side.
Not what I'm used to from Ashford.
 It was a little tricky to spin fine as there was some very short fibers mixed with longer ones,
 after washing the skein I whacked it good to full the fibers, I think it turned out ok.
Made almost 400 yards. The color is nice and it is soft as a baby skin.
I don't know yet what I will do with it yet.... back to the wheel for more spinning.
