Springtime Spinning

I burrowed my aunt's spinning wheel last week so I could try to work through some of my fiber. I do have several spindles it takes a long time to spin using a spindle.  I'm saving up to buy my own spinning wheel. Sadly, it will be several more months before I can afford it.
Isn't it Lovely
It is a Road Bug by The Merlin Tree.
 "Domestic Wool Top" from Halcyon Yarn hand-dyed by me with food coloring.
 Half a single.
The first Navajo plied bobbin.
This is the first time I've ever Navajo plied. I found this video How to Navajo Ply Yarn on YouTube very helpful. After a few false starts I figured out how to do it. I love the way the yarn comes out when plied this way.
