I've learned a lot from this skein. There's some roving left, but I couldn't wait to see the finished results. Yes, the dye job is uneven, but now I know to set the twist before dyeing. Scrunched-up parts don't soak up dye. Duh!
This little skein actually had to be soaked twice. The first time around, I forgot that you need to add weight to the bottom to set the twist. I got it wet again and put a large towel through the bottom. Et voila, she is done!

Yay! Congrats on your first yarn.
Beautiful! It looks like sunshine.
Mmm..and I'll bet it smells good too! Like fruity sheep--very nice!
I like the varigated-ness of the yarn. I find I am more drawn to varigated/somewhat solids rather than straight dyed stuff. Fabu job!!
I think it looks great with the lighter parts - like sunlight on a pumpkin!
You don't actually have to weight skeins that you're going to knit with. Blocking the yarn super straight can mean that when you block the finished article after knitting it skews the knitting up!
Oh! I want it! (Wait a second - did I say that out loud?) I love orange :) It looks beautiful!
