I finished spinning the Lame Duck Mallard colorway.
While I didn’t fall in love with the yarn I created, I was very pleased with the progress I made on chain-plying. I’d previously been underplying my singles (and the plies) so I worked to add more twist, even going so far as to add too much twist in places. Hopefully, at some point, I’ll find a balance. It’s hard for me to tell if I have enough twist. So I’m trying to add more twist than I think I need. Being a solitary spinner, it’s more of a challenge to figure this out.
Now I’m spinning this:
Dyed by Spincerely – Superwash Merino in the colorway, Delilah.
I’m spinning it fine so it’s going a little slower, but I’m enjoying it. I love spinning Merino. I started out with a couple pf pre-drafted sections, but I lost the color variations so now I’m spinning directly from the top.
I also finished my socks this week! Stay tuned for pictures! Hope you enjoy your week!
Hooray for spinning! I’m still working out the whole “chain plying” thing so goodonya!!
oooh,ahhhh. Your yarn looks terrific! Looks like you will have great yardage on the purple.
I haven’t tried chain (Navajo?) plying, but it is calling to me. Did you reach your goal? The jersey’s are up.
oh how funny! i just spun lame duck mallard for the tour as well. i don’t have pictures up yet though. it didn’t come out so well. /sigh
