Yes, Grams of singles and Yards of finished plied or unplied. But finished, i,e. washed, dried and measured, right?

Well, I measure as I am taking it off the bobbin, as my niddy noddy is 2 yards, so I just count the wraps and then under count … so if it’s 100.5 wraps … I count it as 200 yards … I know there is some shrinkage, but I figure I did spin that many yards, and so whether it shrinks after wash, then that doesn’t matter so much for spinning yardage (to me). I don’t wash each skein as I finish it, I will wait until I have a few skeins, and then wash/set the batch.

  • Last year I would count both singles yardage and plied yardage … so the skein I finished here would be 324 singles yardage + 162 plied yardage for a total of 486 countable yards. But you can make whatever determination you want for this year :slight_smile: What would you prefer ? County only singles ? Count singles and plied yardage ? Count only plied yardage ?

***This is the day I received my Woolee Winder. It sent my spinning into hyperdrive! It almost felt like cheating, but my hands are pretty sore. I will have to take a break from spinning for a while, if I can.

Spice2s Did you get to do any spinning yesterday? My spinning has taken a little downturn towards the end of the week…I think I’m still recovering and working in the yard has taken more energy and made my hands tired. :sleeping:
Is anyone else spinning? For fun?

I’m spinning most days. Just not reporting as I’m not really interested in or motivated by prizes.
