I purchased 5.6 ounces of Gotland fiber from Blazing Star Ranch during Yarn Along the Rockies last year. It was soft and had a nice sheen. After following me home, I decided to try my new lace whorl with it. I did a two ply since lace is often a two ply and there is only 5.6 ounces.
Some thick and thin did happen. Also, it didn't help that there was a several week period where I didn't spin. One of the bobbins shown below. I think it is a good first round with the new whorl.
In order to have a fresh start for Tour de Fleece which starts today, I plied one bobbin last Sunday and finished the second one on Tuesday. Wednesday, I skeined the yarn and still need to set the twist. The second photo has the start of winding on to the kniddy-knoddy in the foreground.
Next up will be a Tour de Fleece project.
