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! |
