BFL Sock Yarn (2014)

 

BFL 3-ply sock yarn Fibre:  Blue faced Leicester (BFL)
Method:  Spinning wheel
Completed:  December 5, 2014.

First spinning on my first spinning wheel (Schacht Matchless)!     About 3.3oz of BFL top spun and plied into 3ply (2.95oz) and Navajo-plied 3ply (0.20oz).  (Yes, there was lossage… getting to know the new wheel!).

Knits up at 6st/in on 2.0mm needles.  I’m planning (rustic) socks.
