TdF July 7 and 8

TdF July 7 and 8, a photo by Sansarya Caligari on Flickr.

I didn't want to take pictures on the 7th and 8th, though I did spin both days, for about an hour each day. I've got 4.0 oz. of Falkland all spun up. You can see the amount on the bobbins is uneven (less on one than the other), so plying these together presents a problem: I'm going to run out of yarn on one bobbin before I run out on the other bobbin, and I won't be able to continuously ply all of this unless I figure out how to get more yarn on the bobbin with the smaller amount...or if I learn a new plying technique. There is a technique called Navajo plying, where you just ply your singles back on themselves and end up with a 3-ply yarn. People use this method to preserve color separations better, like if you have a rainbow striped yarn, you can make sure the reds stay with red and greens with green, etc. rather than all mixed up and end up with a muddy-colored skein of yarn. I wanted to do this yarn 2-ply because I am excited to see how the colors look together when they're mixed up. But, that's not going to be possible, I guess. Lesson learned: plan ahead. :)
