even when your memory doesn't.
This picture was part of a post that I did last winter. It was spun from a pound or so of hand dyed oatmeal colored shetland and another quarter pound of silk that I dyed to blend together. Most of it ws spun late January and February. I hadn't gotten around to plying it. Late spring, I found a bit that I hadn't carded so decided that I'd keep going with the project and packed everything up to take with me when I went north last June. There, I misplaced the woolee winder that I'd used to spin the first three bobbins. I searched for two months before finding it in high up on a shelf next to my desk, safe and snug in a plastic bag. In the meantime, but during the search, I gave up and spun another (regular) bobbin and a half. Finally, over the weekend, I plied it.
Yes, when there is that much to ply, nothing beats an electric spinner. Hope you aren't too disappointed. Pictures to follow, of course.
It is now a three ply, worsted wt. yarn. 😉

The color is fantastic. It must feel great to get it done.
It’s so good to see your perspective!
Disappointed? Nah! If that’s how the plying gets done quickly why not? Free and naked bobbins when all is said and done is a great feeling. Got the last of the CVM skeins in the sink taking a bath for my Currach Stole. Can’t wait to see your pretty blue skeins.
No disappointment from here…there is a time and a place for everything!
..nice to see you have the time, and a beautiful place to work …gorgeous setting!
