A yarn of many colours

Spun from the Finn fleece I dyed on Sunday.

 Using my quilter's philosophy of throw enough colurs in and it will eventually work.
I selected one colour at a time and spun one card of each colour up randomly.

 I filled two bobins then plyed them together on my jumbo freedom flyer.

 There's 190gms of yarn around DK (8ply) in weight.

There are long stretches of colur so I'm expecting it to stripe as its knitting up.
