			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I promised to show what I&#8217;ve been spinning lately, which honestly its been a few weeks and these have just been drying in the tub.  I guess I&#8217;ll make up for it this weekend at the festival.</p>
<p>This is Rocket Yarn&#8217;s Batt &#8211;they&#8217;re very loosely carded crazy batts.  I picked up 2oz at the Fiber-In this year. Hanks Yarn has them on occasion.    I love her label and the two colors of angelina in the batt.  I&#8217;ve had other batts where the angelia is all bunched up in one spot and make for weak and scratchy yarn, but hers are well blended and balanced.  I core spun it around a black handspun single. </p>

<p>The next one is from my own <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/shenanigansyarn?section_id=7468058">batts </a>. This particular one is from some teal BFL that we dyed a few months ago blended with some of the samples from the September Phat Fiber box.  I spun it as a really thin single thinking I could core ply it around some lace weight jaggerspun.   I&#8217;m not sure what i was doing wrong, but it came out all bobbly instead of a good round yarn.  I&#8217;m still debating on how to ply the rest of it.  I&#8217;ll probably end up doing a navajo ply on it this weekend so i can have my bobbin back. </p>

<p>The next one is another from one of my batts made of a rasberry bfl and Phat Fiber samples plus some  ginned cotton that one of my Ravelry buddies sent me.<br />

<p>And finally a thanks to <a href="http://dyeabolicalyarns.blogspot.com/">Dyeabolical Yarns</a> for using my picture and mentioning us.  This was a gift from my MIL and I spun up some of her roving earlier this year.  3 ply sock weight.<br />
