Wensleydale End

The spinning is done and the yarn is almost dry enough to put in my stash.  I ended up with 3 skeins of varying lengths.  Partially, because there wasn't enough to fill 3 bobbins when plying.  I wonder if anyone gets the same amount when filling bobbins.  I don't.  The grand total for the three ply is 360 yards.  Best guess is a light worsted for weight.  Before washing to set the twist, it was a bit scratchy to the touch. Now it might be soft enough to be next the skin.



 The lower photo is a two ply that is about 12 yards.  It is what was left.  For some reason, I always to a two ply after the three ply is done.  The bobbin with the most gets put in a temporary double pull ball when the other bobbin runs out.  I double the single back with a spit join and ply all of the singles.
