Fibre: Blue faced Leicester (BFL), from Wild Hare Fibers Method: Spinning wheel Completed: February 5, 2015. |
4oz of Wild Hare Fibers Blue-Faced Leicester top, spun on my Schacht Matchless. Approx 249yds 3-ply and 128yds Navajo-plied. The straight 3-ply is a little underplied — I was testing the loop-back while plying, but the singles were rested, so that gave me bad guidance. Still working on my N-plying technique — lots of breaks.
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).

The fibre, as it came out of the bag — semi-solid colour. |
