I finished spinning my sample pieces of cotton. There were three different colors. I decided to wind them together as a three ply. To do that I put the three bobbins on the Lazy Kate and used my drop spindle (normally used for wool to spin together).

I was afraid that the greenish color would make the yarn look bad. But the white and tan offset it and it created a very natural blend. There isn't much here so I figured that I might crochet a doily. I will make it as large as the yarn will allow. When I am done with it, I will have a keepsake that includes the first cotton that I hand spun. It sounds like a good idea to me. I ran out of the greenish color (on the right) before the other two colors. I ordered 16 ounces of green cotton. I will spin enough of it to finish 3-plying the other two colors. I can't wait to start crocheting.
