8.7oz of yarn.
I was really happy to get the yarn off this spindle.

Plying progress
Argh, darkness by 4:45pm means that I have to photograph things earlier. I'll have to remember that. Anyway, I've been plying Ma's yarn, doing a 3-ply and getting a just-barely-DK weight. I think it'll bloom a little after finishing, though, and I can be sure there will be enough. I weighed this spindle earlier, and it was 7.7 oz. Not counting the weight of the spindle, which I handily printed on the whorl (yay, me!), that's 5.3 oz of yarn. Whew!

The Money Shot
Since I have my 50mm lens on (still haven't had occasion to take it off), I thought I'd take a nifty picture of the new yarn. This is the BMFA Atomic #6 that BigAlice sent me last year. All plied, it's 310 yards and 3.5oz.
Also, this is closer to the actual colors of this yarn. Keep in mind that the fluorescent lighting can be very unflattering, though.

FO - BMFA Atomic No. 6
This is a true 3-ply, not a navajo-ply. Final weight is 99g or 3.5oz. There's an additional 5g ball of singles that didn't make it into this yarn. The fluorescent light in here does nothing for the color of the yarn, which is much darker and purpler than it appears here. Great new camera, but it's a diva when it comes to lighting, I guess.

Packet checks the wooly fragrance
She looks like she's attacking it (and she's been known to do so in the past), but she's just biting down with her teeth and breathing deeply.

Packet tests the squish factor on the new yarn
This is the BMFA yarn that BigAlice sent me last year. Colorway: Atomic #6. 3.75oz in the package, but since I 3-plied and not all the plies ended up being the same length, it's less than that. I haven't re-weighed it to find out what the finished weight is, but I do have 310 yards (approx).
