Spun Coopworth

This is a picture of both skeins before setting the spin.  This is more fiber purchased at this years Estes Wool Market.  I finally decided to try some roving from the booth in the back right corner.  I grabbed the whole ball which was 4.4 ounces of dyed Coopworth from "Handspun by Stefania".  The photo doesn't show that is a woodsy blend of green and brown.

I did a quick check of the "Spinning Wool: Beyond the Basics" and decide to use my second largest whorl  and try for a two ply worsted weight.  Just for fun I tried the scotch tension for plying with my largest whorl.  I liked this because of how the hooks are on the flyer.  I think I will do this in the future on my Minstrel.

The end result is a bit uneven and not completely balanced but I think it will work well for a scarf.  The first skein has 110 yards and the second 44 yards.  I need to wash it and see if blooms before I declare it a worsted because it might be a heavy worsted/light bulky.

If this is typical Coopworth, I will definitely consider buying and spinning more of it.
