#the only good news here is that the 3 ply puffed up a ton. it's a light worsted i think

ugh somehow when i was dividing the roving for that sock yarn into thirds, i completely messed up. i remember thinking i was being overly meticulous about it, too. but the z spun single was about two thirds the length of both s spun singles, so i ended up with one big traditional 3 ply of 186 yards, one small traditional 3 ply of 62 yards, and then one small 2 ply of 126 yards.

in retrospect i really should have just broken into the second color of this roving and spun enough to keep going with a 3 ply. that would have made a cool marled yarn that i could have used for the heel, toe, and cuff. but i am operating on about 25% brain capacity today, so i just did what i always do with leftovers from traditional 3 ply (which is just two ply them and throw them in the scrap yarn bucket). which i now regret because it was 126 yards.

#spinning #handspun yarn #sock yarn #no clue what I'll do with the 2 ply... it's nice but like... ? #the only good news here is that the 3 ply puffed up a ton. it's a light worsted i think? #which means that like 250 yards of it should be fine for a pair of socks #its been a couple years since i spun 100% babydoll so i forgot it puffed up so much #when its a blend or when it's just one ply in a yarn it's a lot more tame #anyway. blegh. I got 3 hours of sleep and ive felt like shit all day #i was gonna take a nap before work but i got so caught up plying this that i lost track of time #and now i only have about an hour until i gotta get ready so there's not really any point
