Fibre Friday :: Merino and Seacell

Fibre Friday

Some 80% merino, 20% seacell which I spun into a fine single.

Fibre Friday

When I'm only spinning 100ish g of fibre I always usually wind a centre pull ball and ply the two ends together. I always get asked if it works ok and the answer is it works just fine. I can't get my head around the how, but it seems the twist is going the same way no matter which end of the ball you take the yarn from.

Here is the finished yarn, it came out at about 4 ply weight. I met up with a friend the other week and she had some lovely handspun to show me (from fibre she had bought off me.) It was all beautifully labelled with fibre content and colourway, and the yardage she achieved. So organised!!
