The spinning for the mittens is complete. The two bobbins of yarn feel very different. The brown, which I personally carded, feels squishy and airy. The dyed wool feels dense. I'm betting there is at least 10% more yardage in the colored wool than the brown. It was just more work to spin the colored wool, and the brown felt more like it spun itself. This is why I like prepping (combing or carding) my fiber myself. Yes, its more work on the front end but the spinning goes faster and is more enjoyable, so it feels like I get that prep time back. In short, the time is worth it. Blah, blah.....pictures or it didn't happen.
