learning the twist

If there ever was a day that I felt that I was spinning my wheels (not spinning on my wheels), it would be today.   It happens.  I started out skeining up the yarn I’d dyed yesterday so I could shoot pics for the blog.  Every batch is different.  I know this.  I need to learn this lesson everytime I get a batch done.  These singles have a much softer feel, they have less twist than the last batch.  When I hang them, they hang straight. Not underspun.. but less.  When I first started working with last years run, I thought it was overspun.  I learned how to work with it and love it.  That’s where I stand today.  I’m learning this twist.
I dyed three colors.  Two of the singles and one two ply.  It’s been a battle getting the colors to show right on the computer.
