1st Skein
Just a quick post to show a completed skein from the Lorna’s Laces roving. It turned out quite well and got better as I went. The second half of the batch is quite thin and very consistent. The photos show the first part, though, so you can’t see the really good part! I may even be able to make some sock yarn soon!
This little skein adds up to ~350 yards and is a lot softer than I thought it would be (based on the texture of the roving). Next time you see it, it will be a lovely 2-ply yarn. When will that be? Hopefully some time next week.
Nice job! Your spinning skills are much improved. Do you think you will be able to spin that straw into gold soon?
Whatever will you make of this gorgeous yarn?
Can’t wait to see the colours plied (is that right?).

I have no idea what I’ll make with it – I’ll have to wait until it is all done, I think.
Sad story: I realized tonight, after spinning up to about half the bobbin, that it was too loose and it kind of fell apart as I pulled on it. I actually had to cut it off the bobbin because it was too weak to be wound off. Why didn’t I test it earlier?! Stupid, stupid, stupid. I do still have a lot of fiber left – definately enough for another skein of equal size.
