I worked in the city yesterday. So it means 2 hours each way of commuting
& 8 hours away from home. I didn't
get nearly as much done for the TdF. But
I think I did about a half hour to 45 minutes.
I was working on the bulky flyer. But it was getting so heavy that I was
fighting with the wheel to get it to move.
The plies snapped as I tried to get some tension into the yarn. I took that as a sign to move back to the
regular bobbins.
The tricky part with the regular bobbins is overplying. I am hoping I haven't been. I have been checking. It has twist that is more than earlier. So I have some concerns. But with the bulky flyer I wasn't getting
enough twist in many cases. I kept
having to pull it out & add more twist.
I will just have to wait to see how it turns out after its
bath.

Much easier plying on the regular flyer & bobbin:
