Day 21 - Friday, September 18
Chiengora - Tibetan Mastiff: 35 Minutes
With finishing the 3rd Single on Thursday, I began plying my yarn today. There are 222g in the three singles.
SE2SE - Hog Island: 15 Minutes
Day 22 - Saturday, September 19
Chiengora - Tibetan Mastiff: 76 Minutes
My bobbin is full, Full, FULL... with 81g of singles still to ply.
Day 23 - Sunday, September 20
Chiengora - Tibetan Mastiff: 65 Minutes
I skeined the full bobbin from yesterday and finished plying the remaining Tibetan Mastiff. All but 7 grams made it into the final yarn... this makes me happy with my batt division prior to the start of this Tour.
SE2SE - Hog Island: 17 Minutes
I did not expect to finish the Hog Island during this Tour, but I did make some progress, bringing the remaining roving from 44 to 25 grams.
Weekly Time: 208 mins
Total Time: 4:42 + 7:03 + 5:26 + 3:28 = 20hrs 39mins
Epiloge
Carrying on a bit from Part One, my Podcast backlog has improved as follows:
- Wise Traditions by the Westin A Price Foundation - I finished Part One of this Tour with a 1 year and 6.5 month backlog. I began Part Two with a 7.5 month backlog and finished with a 4 month backlog.... equating to an improvement of another 3.5 months.
- Professional Weaver - I finished Part One with a 3 episode backlog. I began Part Two with a 2 episode backlog, listened to a few episodes, and finished with a 2 episode backlog... so I'm holding steady on this one.
I took two rest days.
I spun 19 Batts in 18 days of spinning (20 days minus 2 Rest Days) which means that I met my goal of averaging 1 Batt per day.
I finished the Tibetan Mastiff 3-ply yarn. It is not a sock yarn, but I think I have a new plan for it.
2 skeins
229 yards of finished 3-ply yarn
7 7/8 oz (223g) spun
I'll give it a bath later and get a final wpi measurement, but I believe this is close to a Sport or DK weight.
It's clear that if I don't plan to spend a certain amount of time, it's harder to work spinning in every day.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
