Spinning WIP

I picked this up again tonight after a long break. Not really sure if I'm doing it right but it looks pretty!

That looks gorgeous. Very yummy.

It looks great. Very even and not too thin. When you ply it you'll get lots of lovely spirals.

Thanks n! It's nice to know it looks ok  Very Happy

If I wanted to spin some yarn for socks (yeah, I'm ambitious!) would your BFL be ok for this? I was thinking about getting your fibre selection pack to have a play with.

BFL is better for socks, IMHO. The merino I have isn't superwash so it will felt... that lovely combo of friction (shoes), heat (hot feet) and sweat (sorry) is not a good sock-threesome. BFL has a longer staple so it's more durable.
None of it will last as long as a yarn with nylon in it, but BFL with a fairly high twist is a good compromise.

Very neat and love the colour, it reminds me of a tube of refreshers
