I was originally planning to knit sweaters for this crazy weather, but I think I want to make Ponchos instead. I love wearing ponchos. I don't have a pattern yet, but I will add it when I think of it.

I wanted to use my Jacob fleece for this, but it still had too much lanolin in it and it felt gross trying to spin it, so I had to hot-rinse it again. The parts of it that are currently dry feel much better, but it's not dry enough to start carding and working with yet.

Decided to go with a light brown roving from my uncle. I'm aiming for a worsted weight - 12wpi. While spinning the Plys, my research said to aim for a 3/2 wpi for the plys. I spun 18-20wpi for each of the plys (with a few thin spot here and there as I'm practicing my long draw). The finished yarn came in at 10-12wpi before washing. Yay! It's hanging to dry now, but I will post a picture.

Skein #1: 2-ply, 100% wool, ab. 97 yds, 3.6 oz, 10-12wpi
