Making yarn

For years and years the idea didn't occurred to me... I was (and still AM) annoyed at the lack of yarn-selection, but making my own ... then I fighted the idea because I realized getting supplies for spinning would be equally hard. But then as you might remember one spring day I cave in.
You can see the results of my very first tries in that post. I would have give up, but I do have a stubborn streak... I have a hard time accepting I cannot do something... so I kept trying, and here is my first skein of plied yarn, all about 25 meters of it... thick and thin and all the bad of a starter's yarn.

But by now, I wasn't about to give it up and I kept on spinning the single.

And plied up. One hundred meters. The thickness still varies, but I could see improvement. Can you?

The next step, was to dye this... Guess what color I though it would be fitting to use???

Orange of course... The bottle is to weigh it down a bit to release all the kinks that occurs as the result of spinning. I use a KOOL AID like drink powder mixing colors of orange, mandarin and some Mango Ice tea to have a bit of rusty shade...

Re-skeined... With all its faults I love it...

Now someone tell me what to knit with it!

It is about 65 grams, 100 meters .

I was thinking of a beret, maybe this one, but that calls for more yarn than I have... a cowl maybe or this thing... what do you think? Any suggestion?

And just to hope that I managed to spreading the fiber bug...Look who wanted to try spinning with my spindle...
