Yarn produced

I have now spun three bobbins of thread and plied them together. There are about 750 metres of thread, which might not be sufficient for the whole project, but it will do to get started. It appears to be about 19 epi, which would have to be one of my finest spins. The swatch suggests I need to knit up 132 stitches, so that is done and I am now progressing with my first triangle.


The colour of each thread is different and this is coming through in a very subtle manner.
For now, the project is being put aside while I get on with finishing my Christmas projects. There are bath mats to be woven and silk worms to be tended. I am considering using their produce in the next fibreshare project.
