Iris - Black Bunny Fibers Club, Team B

This is the first installment of roving from Black Bunny Fibers Club (Team B). BBF club is unique in the sense that all members will receive the same fiber but Carol will dye up different colorways for each individual member based on the answers to our questionnaire.

This installment's fiber is 100% Peruvian Merino. I split the roving into 4 lengthwise. This will normally spin up fingering/sport weight yarn for me but this roving has a mind of its own. It wants to be lace yarn. It may even be light fingering yarn. It's really easy to spin. I'll try and take picture of the bobbin this weekend.

Goodnight!!

A note about Finn: This is the first time I've spun Finn. I'll be spinning with it again. I did some research on the web and Ravelry before I started spinning. There are some spinners on Ravelry who struggled to spin this fiber. I think the key to not struggle/fight with it, is to pre-draft a lot before spinning. You can read more about Finn sheeps on Misty Mountain Farm and they carry their own Finn wooly products. Also more info Firefly Fields - scroll down to where it says "Finn Wool, soft, lustrous, lovely".
