Finished them!

My first carded, spun and crocheted project completed. See previous pics for blend of merino before and after carding, and spun wool.

One mitten is finished. Just needs ends sewing in and a button putting on. Now I need to reproduce 65g of yarn for the other one!

Here is my blended wool ready to spin. I only lightly carded it (once through the carder alternating between red blend and green). The unfinished mitten took 44g of spun wool. I'll still need to do more...
