I confess, I didn't spin a thing on Day 12... Due to bus issues, it took me over three
hours to get home. And I was sore after
being cramped for that long on the bus.
So I did nada.
Days 13-15, I finished plying the Into The Whirled Polwarth
Falkland Wool Carded Batt in Cattywumpus colorway. I really like the way it looks. Since I was spinning it woolen to keep the
air in it, I suspect it will plump even more after its bath. I need to skein & soak it!
I have to admit, I am kinda disappointed in the yardage after
the bath for the ITW Polwarth/Silk Blended Top in 221b colorway. I really hoped to get at least 600 yards or
possibly more out of 8 oz.. No such
luck. I only got about 435 yards! Out of EIGHT OUNCES! *sigh*
I really thought I would get more. Not sure why.
I know it puffed up some. But I
checked while spinning the singles. Most of the time, it was about 28 WPI. Really figured I would get a fingering weight
with a 2 ply. Alas, not the case.
