Tour de Fleece update, day 4

I've plied up three nice hanks of three ply. I have a little bit of single left on each bobbin, but I'll probably just refill them with singles before plying again. I thought about getting out the plying head to make giant skeins.. but the ratios on it are so big I'd be treadling like a mad woman ;)

Since this is for a sweater I'm (for once) measuring as I wind onto the niddy noddy. So far I have approximately 458 yards of worsted weight yarn. Not too shabby. I definitely won't be running out of roving for this project.

This merino is spinning up so light and fluffy. I abused the fiber just enough in the dyeing process to give it a bit of woolen character.
