I've been spinning a batt of merino wool using different techniques. My first yarn was a 2-ply which I knitted into a neck cuff. For my second 2-ply I spun some old scratchy white wool I got in Albuquerque 11 years ago. The look is candy-stripe, but the white wool is too scratchy. My next yarn used the scratchy wool as a core, wrapped with the soft merino. It feels nice, but this type of spinning takes longer. The first photo shows a knitted sample of each yarn, the second shows a closeup of each yarn so you can see the differences in structure.
