I started with 1 oz of mystery gray locks that were still a tad greasy. Tried my hand at washing locks for the first time...I think it felted a bit. Pulled the locks into a seemingly usable form of roving. The fibers were definitely not all parallel but it made for a lofty yarn. Spun it on one of the drop spindles I made and it turned out like this...
Overdyed with kool aid and food coloring..cuz it would look BAD to have a gray headband next to my gray hair :)LOL Then looked for ideas for bulky yarn that used less than 16.5 yard long. I found some ideas for head bands and improvised from there.
Here it is: a headband...
and ear warmer

Hey that is really nice! I have not spun yarn for over 30 years. I have to try again soon.
