The finished yarn. It comes off the niddynoddy very kinky, as the yarn gets somewhat overspun, so I wet the yarn to release the twist, stretch the skein out in my hands, and then hang it (without weights) to dry.

Adding the dyed locks in as I ply the yarn I put a finger in between the 2 singles at the drafting triangle, and let the locks twist into the space between the 2 plies, trying to keep the lock formation intact so the little curls show in the finished yarn.
The multicolored dyed BFL locks, and the singles of teal BFL ready to ply.
Looks great!
