The Spinning Guy

In this blog, I'm going to talk about alpacas, fiber, spinning, and I'm going to generally try very hard to keep my readers posted about what's on my skirting board, what's on my spinning wheel, and what I'm knitting or crocheting.

Longest Skein Ever

I just finished winding the last bobbin of Pinero's 2-ply into a skein. It's a monster skein -- 1036 yards and 8.8 ounces. No wonder it took me forever. Both bobbins of singles are still about half full -- maybe another 8 ounces and 1000 yards. It's been around two weeks since I last pulled a skein off the wheel, but I seem to have spun a pound of fiber and something over 4000 yards of singles in that time. Maybe I should stop complaining about my productivity.
