Start of Wensleydale

If memory services me correctly, this is Wensleydale fiber.  Of course, it was purchased several years ago at my one and so far only expedition to the Taos Wool Festival.  I didn't make any notes on fiber type at the time.  I knew at the time it might be a good idea.  I don't even have the sales slip.  I do remember the booth.  It was away from the main road with a blue canopy and two teenagers manning it.  My impression was that all the fiber was from their own sheep.

I am pre- drafting because there is still a fair amount of lanolin in the fiber.  The preparation is what I would classify as worsted roving.

 My assistant behaved right up until I had my third bobbin set up.  Then she attempted to attack the roving.  It was going to be a kick toy.  After being rescued from the floor, it was spun.  And now most of the singles have been plied into a three ply yarn. I think it is approximately a heavy dk weight.

My plan is to add my other three batches of roving to the remaining singles and then ply.
