I have had this braid sitting in my stash for some time because I'm uncertain how I want to spin it.

I spun a duplicate braid before just straight from the top without colour planning and the way it plied on itself looked icky to me and I'm still in the process of un-plying that one.

How should I spin this braid and please include your reasons in the tags so I can learn from your reasoning

Turned out to be 2.85oz/80g and 975ft/325yards. Have to figure out what's possible to make with the amount--preferably a single item in order to show the gradient

Finished spinning the softest wool I have ever touched, rambouillet. Can't wait to knit with it.

Colourway „Dreamer“ on 100% Rambouillet by Frau Wöllfchen. Hopefully this will look nice once spun and complement the previously finished Shetland/Linen Mix for a weaving project!

So far I like Rambouillet? Very very soft! Also a bit compacted because this has been sitting in my stash for a couple years now, so I had to predraft well. Also has a couple pills and nepps, which I need to manually remove while spinning. But overall nice sensory experience. The shetland was almost a bit too rough and got uncomfortable on my fingers, especially while plying.
