favorite things swap

The Ravelry group Ten Dollar Swap theme for June was "some of my favorite things". The mods paired me with another spinner, who sent me this lovely braid of Merino -- on the right --- that she dyed especially for me. I couldn't wait to get it on my wheel, and the next picture is of the skein I made (it looks much better IRL).



In the middle of the first photo is elan sock-it-to-me sock yarn that she dyed for me to knit "fraternal" socks. Not OTN yet, but give me time .....
Then, on the left is a small braid of Cotswold she dyed with green food coloring.
In my stash was white Cotswold, and some that a spinning friend had dyed a while ago. I divided them up as evenly as possible, laying them out in the order I wanted to spin them.
Here's the resulting skein:
