I found that using my spinning wheels, yes I have 2 spinning wheels. Has helped ease the arthritis pain in my foot. Some exercise is good. So today I finished filling up one bobbin. It was so full John could see it from the couch.. I don’t think I really could have gotten any more yarn on the bobbin if I tried. I found more roving in the same color way in my stash and started another bobbin. Yes, I did some stash diving. I also found some nice silk to ply it with from Ito. I hope I have enough, because Ito Japan, sold out to a company in Europe which does not like to work with American yarn shops.
Since pictures are worth a thousand words, I thought I would save you some time. Today in pictures. The top picture is the really full bobbin. As you can see it is just about to go over the edge which is not a great thing. The second picture is about 8 ounces more roving. That bag should fill 2 more bobbins.
Depending on how the yarn turns out it will either be woven into a shawl or knit into a sweater. Yardage will help make the decision.
