At Last! Tex, the Texel crossbreed fleece is finished. I plied the last three skeins on Monday morning, making the total number of skeins, 26.
There are over a half dozen rolags left to be spun (I originally didn't spin them because I didn't get all the lanolin out) and some singles, but they, as well as the leftover combing waste, are being held in reserve in case I run out of yarn for the sweater. And frankly, I've been working on this for six months, and I'm kinda sick of it. It's on to the finishing baths for this stuff, and then I can start swatching.
Also finished two out of three four-ounce bumps of the Gotland fiber in shades of wine and pink. I'm spinning this semi-woolen (mostly point of twist, from the fold) and chain/Navajo plying. It's a little twisty because I haven't set the twist on it yet, but this is the first skein:
