Spinning - Willo Fibers kid mohair

So, I spun this a while ago during the TdF, but I've only just got round to uploading the photos for it. I bought the fibre from a festival because I liked the colours.

When it came to spinning it, I thought it might be nice if I split it up and spun it as a gradient, from yellow through pink/orange to black (well, deep purple)

Mohair

Details:
Length: approx 125 yards
Type/weight: 3ply DK (ish) yarn
Spin/ply direction: Z spun and S plied on an Ashford Traveller, standard maiden, middle whorl.
Verdict: I like how the colours have come out. The darker colours are much more purple than they seemed in the fibre, but it still works. I think this may be destined to be a hat.
