First Stashdash 5k Project, 2nd Handspun

I plied my second handspun yarn last night. It's a 2 ply made from Brown Sheep Mill Ends in an undyed cream colorway. It doesn't seem particularly overplied or overtwisted, though it also isn't especially even.  It looks MUCH better than I was expecting.  I'm inordinately proud of it.

I'm also feeling an urge to dye it, though I'm not really sure how.  I'm not sure cream will ever be among my favorite colors.  I'll have to get some dye from, uh, someplace?  That might be a good start.  I think I picked up a book on Acid Dyes at Borders when the local store was going out of business.  Perhaps I should refer to it.

One of the bobbins had extra left on it, so I Navajo plied that this morning:

Followed by Navajo plying a selection of fibers, which included Shetland sheep, Tony the Alpaca, Mack Dawg the Llama, and a bit of angora.  It's a stripey selection of natural colors:

That gets me a total of 834 yards in the 5k Stash Dash with the Knit Girlls. 

I decided to participate in Tour de Fleece this year as well.  So I'm trying to clear off my bobbins and  decide on some projects for the Tour.
