"Advent" Spin

"Advent" Spin

Posted by Marina ~ Pineapple Yarn on

I was moderately happy with this spin. The process was so fun, spinning a mini batt every day through the month of December. I'm surprised at the amount of twist the superwash merino can sustain for sock-type yarn. I would have liked to spin this at a higher ratio, but perhaps stayed at the 16:1 for plying.
