Saturday spinning update: plied

Posted on March 9, 2013 by natalie

This week I spent a whole bunch of time getting the singles spun up from my Into The Whirled batt. I had a pretty full bobbin:

And then I plied and plied and plied. I didn’t take quite as long as I’d expected, and now I’ve got about 550 yards of 3 ply.

I can’t wait until it dries properly, because I really want to wind if up into a ball to see how the colour shifts look. I think this one is something I’ll be knitting up for me.

    Gorgeous :) I’m trying to resist learning to spin until I have room for a wheel (I live in a cramped apartment with two teenagers at the moment), but you and the Yarn Harlot are making it very difficult for me!
