Yesterday I spent quite a bit of time plying my Grape Jelly yarn, and experimenting with just how much yarn I could get onto the spindle (answer: quite a bit, but it does get ridiculous after a while). I ended up with this enormous cone:
Which I skeined up into a 5-foot skein, working out to about 136 yards of yarn. I washed it, dried it (I'm liking the flat dryer rack that makes drying wool fast and easy quite a bit these days), and those is what I have now:
I'm thinking I need to buy some larger needles, because this is very fluffy large yarn, and I don't have needles large enough for it.
The book on wheel construction that I ordered through interlibrary loan arrived this week, and I picked it up today, for a little light reading.
