A good friend gave me a really wonderful
prepared roving of merino and tencil...
Here pictured are two bobbins of single plied...
sitting in a lazy kate.
Spinning two ply...
With the drivebands taken off the whirl and the bobbin,
so the bobbin can spin free...
the plied yarn is wound onto a kniddy-knoddy.
After washing gently in warm slightly sudsy water and
then, rinsed in cool water...the yarn is left to dry on a towel.
It rests in a relaxed position of it's choice...plumping/fluffing
as the twist becomes set.
Once completely dry...it's ready to become something
special like a scarf or hat.
And do you know yet what you will be making or are you just stock piling?
