This is the fiber that I spun on my spindle. It was the most perfectly balanced yarn. I've been reading Abby Franquemont's Respect the Spindle
and learing a great deal about working with my spindles. I used her method of winding the 3 balls of yarn together as one before plying and it was so easy to work with it that way. Of course this is just a small sampling, but it's amazing how much control one has over the fiber this way. 
Here is my Lendrum wheel sampling for the day. I've been playing with a worsted short forward draw with this combed top and I actually like my point of twist semi-woolen technique, which is my default method, much better. The fiber actually looks more like a worsted yarn with my method.
