Time to Ply

 I've got two bobbins of Spunky Eclectic Merino/Silk in Forest Dancer ready to ply.



I also had a nice morning on Tuesday. It helped to get the wheel outside so I could see what I was doing.



 One bobbin was spun on a drop spindle, the other on the wheel. Can you tell the difference. Me either.




I watched the videos in my Craftsy spinning class before I got started and it helped to know that for the most part I really have the right idea. I just need to check on what's going on more often and rewind and re-spin when necessary. I also want to thank all  of you that gave me advice in the comments. Your little tricks and tips really helped as well. I'm looking at plying in a whole new way-and I'm liking what I am seeing.

    I can't see the difference between spindle and wheel spun; nice to know you are consistent!
    I like the yarn you have here; I like it more wpi while still maintaining drape-you've got it just right here! (And the color is to die for!!!!)

    Looking good and I can't believe the great weather you're having, although I hear you had a doozy of a thunderstorm yesterday! Your wheel looks so much like the one I had. It makes me miss mine!
    Blessings,
