#three ply

Color management doesn’t exist if you have a rainbow braid and the first section of blue keeps snapping at each ply.

Prove me wrong.

Aaaand I spun up this multicolored merino I got at a local shop. I don't have enough of it to do much with, so I may go back and see if they've got more of this color in stock. This is my first time spinning color changing roving, or even dyed wool at all!

I really like chain plying on the fly from a process standpoint - when you're out of fiber, your yarn is complete, and you can see how it's going to turn out as you go - and for how much rounder and "more like real yarn" the finished product is, compared to my previous two-ply yarns. But this one has a harder, rope-like feel to it. I don't know if I overspun it, or if it's to do with the fiber, which I haven't used before.

180gramm of three ply!

Still have 120g to go!

I love chunky skeins, it's just... I don't know, squishy!

Finished spinning the polwarth with what I’d learned in spinning class! It went a lot faster and I had much less fatigue. Still have a bit of carpel tunnel in my left hand, and I definitely need to keep on eye on my wrist extension. I think my chair is too high for my wheel.

Anyway, the skein on the left is 204 yards and a three ply, while the one on the right is a 116 yard chain ply. It’s my first attempt at both, and although the three ply turned out passably, the chain ply is pretty badly over spun. I don’t believe I treadled much faster doing it, but I don’t know how simply chain plying would effect it otherwise. As well as that, the chain joins are fairly obvious and occasionally loose. I’m sure those issues would get better with practice, but I’m not certain the benefit of working from a single skein made it worthwhile.
