Fibre: Blue faced Leicester (BFL) Method:
Spinning wheel Completed:
December 5, 2014.
First spinning on my first spinning wheel (Schacht
Matchless)! About 3.3oz of BFL top spun and
plied into 3ply (2.95oz) and Navajo-plied 3ply (0.20oz). (Yes,
there was lossage... getting to know the new wheel!).
Knits up at 6st/in on 2.0mm needles. I'm planning (rustic)
socks.
Large bundle is the plied
singles (3-ply). Small skein is the
Navajo-plied.

Weighing in -- all together, and the plied singles alone.
6 st/in on 2.0mm needles. Reasonable
stitch definition!
