(Susan B. Anthony)
The ply has been set on the first 4 oz of the white wool, and it bloomed beautifully. This is a soft, smooshy light worsted weight 2-ply yarn. Because of a problem when plying, I separated it into two skeins. The first skein is 159.75 yards, and the second skein is 128.25 yards. That's a total of 288 yards for 4 oz of worsted; not bad at all.
I have two bobbins of singles ready to ply on the next 4 oz. So I have to decide whether to spin the rest of the white (I have 8 more oz) so that they stay fairly consistent, or if I want to spin something bright and shiny first. I have several rovings from the Crown Mountain Club (including the new May Targhee), and the alpaca that I recently bought in Fort Pierce. I also have a Merino/Tencel roving that my daughter had picked out -- if I start spinning that now, I might even manage to get it finished for her visit next week.
Hmmm, the pretty or the smooshy soft?

if you do the smooshy white you'll have it done and can focus on color...always a plus
