Merino multicoloured yarn


A while ago, I bought a merino fleece from a local farm. After cleaning and carding it, I dyed it in different colours. I recarded it as it was very lumpy and mixed some of the initial colours to create in-between colours. I alternated the colours when spinning and Navajo plied the wool. While the colours are nice, I am disappointed as the wool is still lumpy.

This is the same wool (unspun) I used for weaving the table lamp. I will use this spun wool to create a cushion for felting.
