how did that happen?

My hands have been so sore from working in the kitchen, peeling, shopping, squeezing...that I have been hesitant to knit or spin. 

A couple of days ago I pre-drafted some fiber, wound it up, and left it in the basket until my hands felt better.  It kept calling to me, loudly.  So last night I sat at the wheel to spin "just a bit".

This stuff spins like a dream and before I knew it, more than 2 ounces had been spun.

The fiber is Mixed BFL from Two If By Hand, colorway We Took To The Woods.  This is an SAL/KAL for Ennea Collective's Hollow Oak Socks.  These will be my November socks for the year of the handspun sock. 

Usually I am delighted by the way the colors change from braid, to basket, to bobbin, to yarn.  This fiber is unlike anything I have worked with because the colors stay true in each stage.  It is pretty amazing and I will make a little collage to demonstrate once the yarn is finished.
