Notes: 

I got this roving from my LYS.  It was from a weaver/spinner that was selling all her equipment and stash.  I wanted to spin it fine for a shawl.  I found a pattern for a honeycomb pattern in Spin-off.  So far I have not been able to get the pattern to look right.  I have tried #2 needles and #4, 2 was much too small, I may even need a #6.  But I haven't got the pattern right, I'm wondering if there is an error in the pattern.
