Spinning
I have finished spinning the singles for a project I began a year ago. I really don't know why it's taken me so long to get these singles spun. The fiber is a 4 ounce braid of Malabrigo Nube in Azules, divided into thirds by weight and spun on my Kromski Symphony in Scotch tension at a 16:1 ratio at 40 wraps per inch.
Since I started the first bobbin so long ago, I've got to let these last singles hang out a little bit so the twist will settle before I ply. I'll probably ply either late this weekend or sometime next week. I'm thinking of plying on my Schacht Flatiron because I'm not sure I can get the full skein of plied yarn on a single Kromski bobbin. I've got a couple of days to make that decision though.
Next week we are supposed to have cold weather and rain maybe turning into snow or freezing rain. I think this weekend I'm going to get all my chores done and everything else I have to do around the house taken care of and straightened up, then we can just snuggle and nest while winter does it's thing outside. I might even pick a new spinning project!
Have a great weekend!
