Plying up a storm!
Spinning
I finished spinning my Days' End Red singles at the weekend, and have been Navajo plying it since. I've spun up three skeins, and have two or three more to go. I think I could do this all day; it's incredibly meditative. I actually think my singles have got thinner as this project has progressed, so the final yarn may not match the project I originally had in mind. I'm still very proud of it though.
That's about 100m of three-ply medium weight wool. British penny included for scale! There are now two more of these...
My dog is not tiny, and the skein is not huge. That's a trick of perspective.
I have another 8 ounces of this stuff, but in a 'greens' mix. I don't know whether to:
- attempt to spin it sockweight
- attempt to spin it laceweight
- attempt to spin it aran or chunkier
- attempt to spin it 'from the fold'
- attempt to spin it to match the reds.

The red looks good, so I vote spin the greens to match.
I'd just attempt to spin it.....;0)

It looks wonderful! I tried to Navajo plying just one time and it wasn't very successful, but yours looks great!
I agree with Mary Deb: to spin it to match the reds.
Hope you'll have a great weekend!
