Three Ply Experiment

Over the past several weeks I’ve been having fun with this thread over on Ravelry.  In it we’re discussing all sorts of combinations of different hand painted fiber into a single yarn.  I took three different hand painted rovings:

Coloured Stone from EGMTK:
Stash

Falkland from FeltStudioUK:
falkland from UKFeltStudio

and Coral Sea from Spindlefrog (Corriedale top):

spun them into singles:
