I managed to spin again this morning. Sleep? Who needs sleep! Hours later, I still want to spin. I am being good though and doing everything else that needs doing.
I dragged the niddy-noddy out yesterday. This is off the bobbin now.
I'm not crazy about it. It is a low-contrast thick and thin for the simple fact some of the colors just would not draft well. It was a loaded batt so I guess I should have expected that. I didn't have enough to keep experimenting so settled on a backwards draw(modified long draw).
Like usual I have no idea what I will make with it. It's still not washed so it is off to bin camp for a while. I never have enough time so I wash when my bin fills since I prefer to spin or knit.
Yarn details:
Purchased batts of Superfine Merino, Merino 64, Corridale, BFL, Tencel, Silk, Bamboo, Firestar
Before wash: 212 yards, 4.5oz.
On the bobbin currently:
A periwinkle and purple batt I made a year or so ago. It is a slow spin. I am trying for as thin as possible and it is resistant.
