Some classic my little ponies that we found for Immi were better then the updated ones too. I wish toy producers would focus more on quality products and ideas. This yarn = beautiful.

I would imagine it's difficult to spin uniformly from chunckily carded batts...which of course I don't mind but I imagine smooth batts are not much different from rovings. The only question with this particular batt is depending on how I split up the fiber to spin, color pooling would be very different so I'm still thinking about it.

We're showing our age, Todd. (For the record, I hate the updated Strawberry Shortcake too!) Lovely work on the handspun yarn! It looks like the new fiber you got is a batt. I've never spun from a batt (always get top or roving) so you'll have to let me know what it was like. Yeah, I like the vintage one better too. We’re showing our age, Todd.
