I can't believe I forgot to post pics of the batts, the undyed yarn and the dyed yarn from this weekend. Grrr.
Here are the little batts:

I spun this all supported long draw, which I've hardly ever done. I can see how production spinners would love this method, and I think with some practice (and no neps or noils in my fiber) I could get an awesome singles out of it.

Again, supported long draw, about 6 oz.
I love spinning!
