First up: Probably about 3.5 oz Romney 2-ply (I spun 4 oz, but there was a bit of singles left after plying). IIRC, this came out to about 190 yards.
Second: About 3.5 oz Superwash Merino or BFL (I can't find the tag) with a navajo ply to keep the color structure. It's about 130 yards.

And here’s the Maypole (Dapple-dyed) on SW Merino that I’m working on right now. The dark green you see is actually from my leader. I haven’t gotten any of the darker colors into the draft yet. I think this will make a really interesting pair of socks since it will be unpredictable where/when the colors will come to the draft. I may have 2 socks that will look almost like they’re from 2 different yarns, but I think it will look kinda cool that way.

Thanks! I'm getting better at the finer yarn, which is good since I tend to knit with finer yarn/smaller needles.
