This test batch came out wonderfully! 40g grams, 67 yards of 4 ply wool/recycled sari silk blended on my new blending board that arrived a few weeks ago. It's spent the past two days on a drying rack after I set the twist, now I need to put it on my ball winder... not a process I'm looking forward to.
This was a lot of firsts for me. First time using a blending board, first time spinning silk of any kind, first time spinning four ply yarn, and I am pleased to say I learnt a lot during the process.
Spinning this yarn was... interesting. It came out both exactly like I thought it would and nothing like I thought it would. I hated it and I loved it. 10/10 would spin again. Now I need to find a project for this yarn (the wool came in a 500g bag and I may have gone just a little overboard when buying up sari silk (a little goes such a long way I probably only used 3g in this mini skein) so I'll have plenty of yarn to play with once it's all spun up)
