Cinderella and the Wicked Overtwisted Sister yarn

Here are the first 2 yarns I spun on my new wheel.
This is Cinderella:

Cinderella was the result of trying to compensate for the Wicked Overtwisted Sister yarn below. It turned out really soft and puffy, but balanced. It is plied with white crochet thread, and dyed after spinning and plying.

This yarn came out so overtwisted because I needed to slow the treadling down, and tighten the brake a bit. The fiber I used was dyed in chunks of yellow, orange and red kool-aid, and was plied with a red strand (dyed with red kool-aid).
