That yarn looks fab, Sally
My next task is to wind it into balls and then weigh it so that I can determine how much I have to make something with.
Errr.... not sure the weight is a very reliable indicator, especially at the stage we're at... Ravellers talk about using yardage as the measure, rather than weight. My earlier spinnings were very dense, so less yardage per ounce. Now I'm getting better at woollen draw and at controlling the diameter and being more consistent, I can get a lot more yardage out of a packet of fibre.
If you count the turns as you wind onto the niddy noddy, then you have the yardage. Apols if I am mentioning this as the horse's hooves disappear into the distance and the empty stable door creaks swinging in the wind...
Another idea would be to knit a swatch or two (of course you'll do this anyway, that is, you will if you are more disciplined than I am
) and weigh that... should give a prety good indication?
Having said all of which, I think jaykay used weight for her awesome purple jumper - but then she was spinning quite fine and very consistent yarn. (Need emotiwotsit for green-eyed with envy!)
