Fluffy batts of lurve

Just a quickie as I'm supposed to still be skeining. While I've been watching the skeiner go round and round, I've been mentally going through my fiber stash trying to decide what to spin next. And I remembered this.

I have 4 batts of this.. an amazingly soft angora/wool/silk/alpaca blend I picked up at MDS&W this year. It was destined from the very start to become a 2 ply laceweight. The question is.. how do I take best advantage of the lovely colours within it? You all know me - I'll go to great lengths for the perfect results. And batts that beautiful need to be given the proper attention. My problem is I just can't decide how to approach it! So all you spinners out there reading this - how would YOU spin those batts?

I would tear it into strips and try to line up the colors so they didn't get muddy in plying.
