Tour de Fleece - Team Rockie - starting point

The spinning stash has been accumulating and not much spinning has happened for years.  So, I am trying the Tour de Fleece on Ravelry for motivation.  The first project up, is to finish my WIP.
Here is my starting picture.
It is stash from a silent action. Two dollars per bag or cake.  I believe it is wool.  The cakes are pencil roving that is wound in groups of six roving. So, I tear about a yard off and separate the pencil rovings. I am using the third biggest whorl for the singles.

So, yesterday, I plied.  It was a three ply using my tensioned lazy kate.  I ended up with two skeins of bulky.  (60 and 54 yards).
