Finishing at 1am
A few nights ago I finished the yarn spun with the exchange spindle by plying it together until about 1 or 2 am. For some reason I have a hard time starting to ply and picking it back up later. I feel this strong need to finish it in one sitting so I can wash and set the yarn to more quickly see what it looks like finished. This time I was not disappointed.
This is probably the finest yarn I’ve ever made (fine in thickness). It’s a merino 2-ply at about 16 wpi, and I’ve just got to finish another skein about half the size and I want to dye it all together. I’ve no clue what color I will dye it, but I’m thinking something vibrant. This is very similar to the merino I’m spinning on my golding, yet it’s a bit finer and the fiber feels just slightly different. Both white, and both will be dyed. I can’t wait!
I’ve got another finished project, but I need to find a creative way of photographing it before I post about it. It’s a project that has been a long time in hibernation, and just needs some ribbon and elastic string.
