This is the fiber I bought from Mary Ann last October at Spin-In in Chapel Hill:

I finally finished the singles:


And got really excited and Navajo-plied it:

Ta dah!

Fiber: Wool/Mohair Blend 4oz from Three Waters Farm
Wheel: OLD Louet 7.5 ratio
Style: worsted
Plied: Navajo
Final weight: Heavy fingering/sport ~270 yds
I'm so happy how this turned out! I love the colors, and I'm finally spinning in a way that the yarn isn't steel wool.
I was about to donate these cotton/acrylic blend hat & scarf set from Old Navy. Then I thought that I can maybe unravel it. So I did.

Surprisingly, the hat is knitted flat, then seamed using a thinner thread.

Snip snip.

...and pulled hard on the top gathered part until it came off: success!

Scarf: after taking the fringe off, it was easy to find the end.

All in all, I got about 500 yards of cotton/acrylic blend. Enough for a baby blanket?
