A couple bobbins and another scarf

I've spun up a few more things too. I've got one multi-colored merino- my first attempt with this breed- in a color called sandalwood. It's turning out really nice. I spun up 3oz on the fist bobbin and I'm working on the second 3oz bobbin so I can ply them together. Next time I'll try a navajo ply for the same color. The first bobbin is in the picture. I like it- I'm not usually a "brown" person, but I think it's coming out nicely. I'm spinning the other half from the fold so the colors are a little more pronounced. I've also got a bobbin of some teal corrie. It's turning out nice and fuzzy. I'll ply that up with some other color, but I'm not sure what yet.
I also finished up a scarf for my friend. It's made from the recycled banana silk and a strand of zen colors ribbon. It was a really quick knit with some big needles. I used a double twieted drop stich pattern so that both yarns could be seen. More to come when I can!

HI! Beautiful yarn! I just wanted to touch base with you about your Cherub wheel. I have a Cherub also and have such difficulty with my tension. Do you have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate any words you have to share. Thanks. Keep up the beautiful work...I am envious!
