spindle plying.. part 1

Today was the November meeting for the local spinning guild.  Instead of taking a wheel project, I decided to spend the time plying the two little cops of singles I had spun from a rather generous sample in my SOAR gift bag.  In this case, I decided to use a small amount of rolled up roving as a plying ball.  To begin, I put both cops onto my lazy kate. 

I didn't weigh the sample before I began spindling.  I'll do that when the yarn is finished.  It is apparent already that my colors will not line up.  The roving was uneven when I got it and I wasn't very accurate in splitting it.
