These were my very first ever singles spun on a wheel
I plyed them into my first ever two ply spun on a wheel
I also did a small amount amount of Navajo plying, which I actually liked doing a LOT.
That was when I had to make my first trip to the shop, for more fiber and another bobbin. I got a lovely bag of BFL in beautiful colors and tried to make a striped 2 ply. It didn't come out striped, but that's okay. There is about 130 yards here and I couldn't be happier.
Another trip to the shop got me a beautiful bag of fiber, with 4 oz each of four colors. Two colors are straight Coriedale , one has some kid mohair in there, and the other has some angora blended with it! I am only working with the straight wool balls right now. Trying for some long striping yarn. My attempt to Navajo ply was kind of a disaster. I can't talk about it yet, but I will tell you another day.
