It's a Skein!

I started plying the first two bobbin's of Pinero's yarn yesterday, and I finished this morning. As it turns out, I could have spun a little more single onto the second bobbin as I didn't come out evenly -- not a big deal when I probably have a pound of fiber remaining.

The first skein was a full bobbin and came in at 730 yards and 6.8 ounces. The second skein came in at 136 yards and 1.4 ounces.

Together, the first two skeins total 866 yards and weigh in at 8.2 ounces. That works out to 1700 yards/lb for a 2-ply yarn -- no wonder it is taking so long.

The yarn is soft and beautiful. I overspun the singles and they relaxed wonderfully in the plying process. The yarn is softer and slightly loftier than I expected -- both good things.

I've got skeins. I'm excited.
