And I love how you weigh and measure the singles then pair them for plying. I usually just spin two bobbins at a time, ply, and hope for the best :) Might have to take a page from your book there!FullyFleecedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02112778958934264961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-15068005454090482362019-08-01T12:06:29.458-05:002019-08-01T12:06:29.458-05:00Interesting!

Will a fat cat butt (the one I just posted on Instagram) do?<br /><br />Seriously, that was some serious measuring effort, not to mention the plying, spinning, carding, scouring, and sheep raising. For all the work, $500 for a splendid hand knit sweater made from the wool of named and loved sheep should be twice that!sophy0075https://www.blogger.com/profile/03313315186411760221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-21596111048051738742019-07-31T17:26:02.959-05:002019-07-31T17:26:02.959-05:00THAT WAS A WHOLE LOTTA MATH.

It never even occurred to me to so SPINNING MATH. <br /><br />I am most fascinated with your method of organizing your singles to end up with a consistent yarn. I’ve always plied every 2 bobbins and mostly just HOPED I was consistent enough for it not to matter. I feel somewhat humbled and ashamed of myself for not taking more care!Kimhttp://imgonnatellmom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-69846331954069393082019-07-31T16:09:19.619-05:002019-07-31T16:09:19.619-05:00Excellent post!

And thanks for all your hard work on the cost calculations; I'm going to bookmark this page for reference for those who ask ME if I ever sell my handspun!

Those not in the business of fiber have no way to know the true cost of producing a finished product! Thank you for such a complete explanation as I will view my own spinning and producing in a clearer light now!Karen at longwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454407455750463689noreply@blogger.com
