The afternoon of the day I went up to Knit Nation<\/a> saw me frantically plying the first lot of my sunshine coloured 70% merino \/ 30% silk that I had been spinning during the Tour de Fleece<\/a>, in an attempt to have enough free bobbins for the workshops I was doing.<\/p>\n

455m and 78g, 3 plies, it is a bit thinner than a standard commercial 4ply yarn.<\/p>\n

It has come out a bit thinner than I was planning. I think I got a bit paranoid about the last sock yarn I made being a bit thicker than I had planned so this time went overboard in the other direction.
