For Part 2 - I chose BFL again. This is a blue and green colorway where the colors were placed on the Blending Board in 1/4 sections.
Since I intend to make a 2-ply, I need to be clear about which end I start from for each rolag. So I matched the rolags by approximate weight, then placed them in order of spinning and reversed the second half.
I did break the single twice, so I ended up with 3 cakes for plying. This will be interesting to see how well I keep things in order. lol.
I put ties on the ends I need to start plying. The middle cake will end up being a game-time decision, since I will end up plying from both ends if it.
For the most part each color change included some Barber Poling, which is to be expected. There was one very long section of Barber Pole and one change that occurred at exactly the same time. It will be interesting to see how this knits up.
7/8 oz (25g), 58.5 yards of 2-ply.
As a side note, I don't like how the yarn looks on the bobbin.... it is fuzzy and indistinct. I assume this is a feature that I will grow to appreciate... eventually. But they don't look so bad from this vantage point. lol
Happy Fiber Arts Friday
