Other spinning I have done as of late

So you saw the post earlier about spinning milkweed.  I have done other spinning and plying.  We are actually learning plying in class tomorrow but I tend to jump the gun on most things as my teacher always tells me. I tend to overachieve and the rest of the class is to ignore me as I am an anomaly in the class.  That being said

I have shown wool that I spun the first clas but here is where it is now.

This was spun on drop spindel then plied on drop spindel as well.  This is a chuncky weight yarn

1st project that I spun from roving
This is the second item i I did with drop spindle some was done with a spinning wheel too.  But all was plied on a drop spindle at home.  Also done with roving.  Also a chunky weight yarn.
2nd project from roving longer hair than first
Third project I did from that 1/6 of fleece that I cleaned and spun then plied.  All of it was done on a drop spindel top whirl ( the others were a top whirl too).  This one is a lace weight yarn.
mine from fleece to cleaning to carding to spinning
the last one you saw earlier that was the milkweed yarn.  Done entirely on a drop spindle and it was a fingering weight yarn.
fluff, single ply, double ply
