I've also been spinning a little, though not so much of late...
I've only ever andean plied yarn from my spindle spun singles, to date - but I wanted a thicker yarn to knit 'Prickle'. So I decided to spin up what is now my default thickness of single - and three ply it, making a lazy kate from a shoe box.
This was a first - but I was pleased with the result - despite its obvious overspun ENERGY! 
It's spun from hand dyed merino/tencel (I think - I bought it from Maylin at Wonderwool and I can't remember). I haven't washed it to set the ply yet.

Looks good to me :) and love the colour.. is that a Kevin spindle? looks like it to me any ways lol
Looking forward to seeing it knitted up :)
I think it is probably BFL. The colour is lovel spun up and it does look soft. Have you tried Navajo plying for 3 ply? I use it all the time on the wheel but don't think I could do it on a rop spindle.
