This week, I've been spinning a pretty 4-oz braid of BFL from Two If By Hand in the "Single Girl, Married Family" colorway. The original braid looked like:
I divided the braid in half, and then split each half into 6 mostly equal sections. I've gotten the singles spun up:
I have no real explanation for why these 2 bobbins appear to be so vastly different - they really are from the same braid! We'll see what shakes out when they are plied together. One of the fun surprises with handspun when you spin without a plan!
I'm also getting geared up for the Tour de Fleece which kicks off in July. Anyone else planning on spinning with the Tour this year? (And keeping my fingers crossed I will actually have some downtime that month. I have no shows or travel booked, but I seem to keep having work pop up to fill my schedule I wasn't counting on......)
A blog filled with my random musings about sewing, knitting, stitching, reading, and anything else filling my world with wonders.
