piranhamy first yarn from the variegated grey shetland wool, now plied and in the process of being knit into a pocket scarf.
plied it following alden amos’s advice to keep a lot of distance between the (improvised) lazy kate and myself and also between myself and the wheel, as well as tension on the plies and yarn. worked like a charm.
plied one full super bobbin, and left some of the single on the storage bobbin so i can try navajo plying.
washed the skein in very hot water with a little ivory soap, rinsed with fabric softener, and hung it to dry.
it became quite soft and lofty! and is knitting up very nicely; true to the fleece. i was gonna make pads for the cats from this, but it’s too nice for that.
it’s mostly worsted, with some thinner and thicker spots. i can see how much the quality changed between the start and the end, *heh*.
