3-Ply

3-ply in this case doesn't refer to thickness, but to the fact that the yarn consists of three strands plied together. I spun brown, green and natural wool separately onto three bobbins, with the spinning wheel moving clockwise, then plied them together with the wheel moving anticlockwise.

    1. Hmm, I like spinning, but I wouldn't want to do it full time. I like knitting too!

  3. Very beautiful yarn! The colors go well together! Super.
    Why in particular do you want a moebius cowl? Is it easier to wear or warmer?

    1. I have a moebius cowl that I really like. It's warm but not too dangly. And I think the figure 8 structure is interesting.
