First TdF Project - 2016

It is amazing how life can make it easy to put of something, like posting my Tour de Fleece projects.  This is the first project I did as part of TdF.  And here it is weeks after being done.

 The roving is Alpaca top from Lonesome Stone.  I picked it up in 2010 at the Taos Wool Festival.  Sadly, since then Lonesome Stone sold their mill.  Best I can tell it was sold around 2012 or 2013.

And this photo shows some progress on the singles using the 16:1 ratio.   Approximately, 3 ounces per bobbin.  It wasn't exact as can been by the next photo.

After doing the center pull trick to finish the second bobbin of two ply,  here are the results.  The ratio for plying was 12:1.

 The final photo here shows the fiber after the twist was set.

The yardage is 358 for the bigger skein and 210 for the smaller one.  My guess for yarn weight is fingering.  I haven't selected a pattern for knitting yet.  There have been hints that I should knit more of my handspan up.

The yarn was spun July 2nd thru July 8th.
