The Yarn

I spun and plyed about 150 g wool on my spinningwheel, then wound it into eight skinny skeins, 35 times round the niddy noddy instead of my usual 50. I dyed three dyelots in my microwave and hung it all in the Winter sun:
When it was dry, I wound it into balls:
Four balls for one sock and four for the other, so I don't run the risk of using up too much on the first sock and running out on the second.
