I did remember to actually take a picture of the roving...but just barely. I had spun all but what is in the pic before I remembered....blog....camera...pic, but you get the idea. It started out like this:
This is Hand Painted Rovings by Lori Lawson of Capistrano Fiber Art Studio. Unfortuantely I can't remember the colorway, but it is approximately 2.0 oz and it's Alpaca/Merino Wool/Tussa Silk (50/30/20)
And this lovely yarn is what I ended up with. It is approx. 130 yards. 10wpi, so that makes it a worsted weight yarn, and it is wondefully soft. This is the best pic I could get, and I still don't think it does justice to the colors. I'm thinking it either wants to become wrist warmers or a narrow drop stitch scarf, I haven't quite decided yet, we'll see what it finally turns out to be.

Wow. That is GORGEOUS!! It would make a beautiful anything.
Wonderful! The painted roving was gorgeous by itself, but the yarn looks even yummier--and now it's ready to use! Woo hoo!
It's amazing! Can't wait to ooh and aah over it in person. hint hint ;) Sorry for being the reason you had to reset your bar for days not buying yarn!
