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!

GentleSunset yarn - navajo ply
I'm getting the hang of the navajo ply. It seems to go slower than other plying methods, but so far I'm not as frustrated (Andean bracelets make me very sad).

FINISHED
Well, now I have to ply it. Shown here, weighing 4.3oz, on my handy postal scale which rests on my handy QAT FUD tub.

Now for the plying!
This would be 3.05 oz of GentleSunset's superwash merino (4.3 oz with the spindle).
