 I had two braids, so I ended up with 4 bobbins, each with about 60 grams of wool. You can see three bobbins on the tensioned lazy kate here, and one bobbin on a regular lazy kate. |
 The threads are combined into a 2 ply. That means I twist 2 threads together. The colors make it look very cheerful. |
 I've wrapped the yarn around a spinner's control card. From that, I can see that I can fit 14 wraps neatly side by side in 1 inch. So, the yarn thickness is 14 wraps per inch (WPI), which is approximately DK weight. That's useful to know if you plan to knit something with it. The yarn might become slightly loftier after washing. This would make the thickness approximately 12-13 WPI, which is Sport weight. |
 After plying, I wind the yarn onto a Niddy Noddy. I'm using a fairly large one because it's become quite a bundle of yarn. There's around 125 grams on one bobbin now. |
 The two skeins look nice like this. Together, they weigh 250 grams, and there's over 500 meters of yarn. |
 They're for an acquaintance; I hope she'll be happy with them and make something nice.Do you spin yourself? If so, you might enjoy taking a look at my portfolio. I regularly offer hand-dyed roving for spinning. |
