Lame duck mallard.

That's the name of this fiber. It was the October Spunky Eclectic club fiber, named in honor of the upcoming election. Except that an election is a difficult inspiration for a fiber colorway, unless you want to go red/white/blue, which...ew. So apparently, AmyBoogie's thought process went towards lame ducks, which led to mallard colors. You can't see the brilliant sections of green in this particular shot, but they're awesome.

Anyway, this is what I've been working on all afternoon. I got a new high speed whorl for my spinning wheel for Christmas, so I decided to practice on it a bit and see if I could spin some fine singles for sock yarn. They seem pretty fine to me. ;)
