I’ve been faithfully spinning up my Dottie singles in preparation for casting on my next sweater project and they are stacking up! So this weekend I washed up what I have completed so far, and weighed/measured everything to see how close I am to my goal. Here they are washed and hanging loose-enjoying some summer sunshine.
And finally all twisted up and tidy
a total of 16.44 ounces, and 1660 yards. I’m really pleased and kind of surprised at how close I managed to keep to my desired grist. I was aiming for 100 yds per ounce, and while there is a little variation from skein to skein, the overall average is pretty darn close!
Total weight should be under 24 ounces, so I’m more than 2/3 of the way there. Hopefully can get that wrapped up in the next week or two. Has kind of become an unofficial Tour de Fleece project, and I might be crossing the finish line right on schedule 🙂
Perhaps this week will offer some opportunities to take Sophie outside and do some more al fresco spinning.
Ps. I did manage to get Dottie back into her enclosure after a few days of running with the young ‘uns. She’d probably never admit it, but I think that she was kind of relieved to get some separation from Daphne. Thankfully everyone kept their cool and there was no major drama. yay!
I am really impressed by your progress!
