River Stone handspun

I finished spinning and setting a lovely classic batt from Hobbledehoy. She named it River Stone, and rightfully so. It has so many beautiful colors, like a gentle stream bubbling over pebbles and rocks shimmering in the sun.
The yarn has merino wool, tencel and silk fibers with a bit of sparkle. It was corespun, which I am loving right now! Corespinning is so much fun and it is a great way to use up left over yarn in my knitting stash, which becomes the core I spin the fiber around. Hoping to try some very soft fiber from my angora bunny tonight. I have been saving a bag of fur from her when we brought her home. It should make very warm mittens for next fall!
