My sixth handspun
I'm very happy with this yarn. I tried to make same thickness as my fifth handspun so I could use them together to make mittens and I succeeded. Both are 13 wraps per inch.

Wow - that looks so wam and squishy - will make very cosy mittens I am sure. Did you get this month's copy of Spin Off? They have a couple of articles on making mittens and gloves from handspun. If not, you are welcome to borrow mine.

It's -10c today and I just came home from grocery store. My fingerless mitts aren't suitable for this weather, so I'm going to cast on as soon as I've cooked the dinner.
I'm going to use my YY handspun for cuffs and this one for the hand.

Thank you. I ordered a subscription last autumn and I'm still waiting for my first issue to arrive. It was sent on 3rd December, so it hopefully should arrive on any day now.

Here are the mittens (not blocked, I needed them straight away!). I wrote some project notes on my blog if someone is interested.
