Square Vacation ~

Please don't tell those at church that I took a little vacation from the squares to do a bit of spinning on this lovely 50/50 silk/merino dream fiber.  I can tell you that it is just a bit more slippery than I am used to spinning, but it is good to try all fibers and learn new ways to cope with a new fiber. 
The colors are stunning and the fiber is really soft and fluffy.  My hope and dream is that I will be able to ply this lovely single into a two ply and have enough yardage to knit a sweet shawl or scarf for myself.  By the end of this spinning session, I had spun two ounces, with two ounces left to spin....
Now, back to those squares.....Doesn't my Pocket Wheel look so happy with this fiber!!!
