Here is my spinning project for August. One of good friends gave me a braid from the 100th Sheep. It is the superfine merino and the color is Sacrifice. The total weight is 6 ounces.
The braid was done with three sections of roving that seemed to be split evenly. I decided to go with the splits and do a three ply. To mix it up, I split each section length wise in different widths. My goal was to have the depth of color match up less frequently.
The singles were spun with a ratio of 12:1 and then plied at 8.5:1 for a nice 3 ply.
I really liked what I got on the bobbins, after plying.
The end result was 2 skeins for ~425 yards of a three ply worsted weight yarn and a dab of 2 ply that is about 20 yards and probably a sport weight.
