seeking very fine singles for socks and hose

 

Within the last couple of weeks, I have spun 3 different fibers in the range of 25,000 to 35,000 ypp. This fiber is different; it does not want to spin anywhere close to the 30,000 ypp spin count that its micron measure would indicate. This project has become a search for why it does not want to spin anywhere near its spin count.





Current generation of singles for weaving and sweater yarns from the recalcitrant fiber.


 

More of this fiber intended for spinning into singles for sweaters and weaving. Practice makes perfect.

 



More of same fiber intended for fine sock yarns, sweaters, and weaving.  Again, enough to practice.

Spinning is making order out of the chaos of fiber.

Knitting and weaving is making order out of the chaos of  yarn.

Spin, knit, and weave well, and both Dumbledore and Zeus will be jealous.
