This isn't turning out as badly as I thought it might. In order to have enough bobbins for the second half of my wool allotment for the fractal spin project, I needed to free one up (I forgot I had one of six filled with lilac-coloured singles). That meant plying the three singles from the first half, and y'know what? I think I like it. Okay, it's lumpier than it should be (that was me, fighting with the clotted Malabrigo), and I could have chosen a colourway with better distribution of the colours, but it'll pass. The second half is working out better insofar as the spinning is concerned. The Louët is my "ply wheel." Her name is Lily. She lives in the back bedroom behind a closed door where Merry is only allowed with supervision. He wants to play with (or eat!) the wool, and he thinks the lazy Kate is a cat toy.
