Notes

This is my second attempt at long-draw/spinning from the fold. I don’t feel like I drafted really long, but I am sure that it was longer than my normal short-draw! On my first attempt, I made really thin singles, and it was hard…on this one, I went for a thicker single, and I am pretty happy with the result. I started spinning the fiber on July 26, and made a 2-ply with most of it by July 29…that was way faster than usual!

Measuring wpi, after soaking and setting, I got 12. In Ravelry terms, that’s a sport weight, but I think it looks closer to DK or worsted…I’ll see how it knits up. :)

With the additional length left from one of the singles, I made a few yards of Navajo ply. :)

FYI, the “blue” photos are in natural, morning light from the window, but the color of the yarn is more correct in the warmer photos. Usually natural light is my friend, but notsomuch with this yarn…lol!
