Spinning progress.
This, my dear readers, is the current status of the spinning spree:
Well, actually, that is not true. That was the status before I spent a good hour and a half getting the yarn onto the skeiner and setting the twist. This is the actual current status of the spinning spree:
2260 metres of yarn, about 0.5 mm in diameter, with a twist angle of about 45°. That is approximately two thirds of what I need of this yarn.
Tomorrow, I'll take it off and see how much it weighs - and then it will sit and wait for its companions. One more skein (though smaller than this one) for the first warp to be done, and then the same in the other direction... and that will do for the first (and largest) batch of spinning.
Whee.
