Yay! I finished spinning the soy silk single on Saturday at Linda’s knitting/spinning retreat (which was awesome). I finished plying it just now!

Plying the soy silk
This was my progress plying yesterday…

All plied up
This is the yarn on the bobbin, after Navajo Plying.

mmm... hand-dyed, handspun soy silk yarn!
Here it is, all skeined up!

    Wow. Gorgeous. Now I’ll have to go dig up my soy silk and actually finish spinning it.

    I contend I can be forgiven for burying it for the past few months as I only have one drop spindle and spinning seems to take forever that way.
