Fibre: Blue faced Leicester (BFL),
from Wild Hare Fibers Method:
Spinning wheel Completed:
February 23, 2015.
4oz of Wild Hare Fibers Blue-Faced Leicester top, spun on my Schacht
Matchless. Approx 219yds 3-ply and 21yds Navajo-plied. I
did a better job of getting the ply right than on the previous Wild Hare
Fibers (Robin's Egg) BFL I did. N-plying is also coming
along. Since the fibre had more variation in colour than the
Robin's Egg, the difference between 3-ply (marled) and N-ply (more
solid) is quite clear.
I measured the lengths by counting the number of strands in the
skein and multiplying that by the length of the skein (after soaking
and drying, to set it).

Showing here with the previous Wild Hare
fibre (Robin's Egg colourway). The Lily Pad plying
worked better.
