Where I keep on spinning again
Aug 1st, 2008 by knittingclub in knitting
I am quite pleased with myself and my yarn. I spun the mobile and rigged myself up a lazy kate:
(It’s a shoe box with knitting needles jabbed through it)
I plied the yarn, but as you can see I wasn’t quite perfect on making the bobbins the same length. Can anyone tell me if there a fix for this that I don’t know about?
I had a little problem getting the tone for the plying at first, but by the end the yarn was beautifully balanced with no weird twistiness, and for what I wish to use it for I don’t think the mis-plied sections will matter that much (I am keeping my plans up my sleeve for now).
Here it is on the bobbin:
And off:
I am quite pleased with my results and take a bigger bag of the same material in a red colour way to go with in a short while after I try out a few more things. I see a matching beret and gloves out of that one as I believe it will be enough.
