First Yarn of the New Year

Well, the first yarn after christmas at least. 

The top four skeins are 8oz of BFL that came as roving which looked like chocolate sauce in vanilla ice cream.  I spun the single as little as possible, and plied it gently to make it as fluffy as possible.

The bottom skein is less than an ounce of silk which my mother-in-law gifted to me (spun up and plied within three days of receiving it) along with a turkish spindle from turtle made.  It was my first time spinning silk in roving form, and I think I prefer it blended with other fiber.  However, the turkish spindle I think I have fallen in love with.  Being able to have a center pull ball straight from the spindle is great.
I also had loads of fun trying to get the silk as fine as possible.
