Roving Rug II

Further prep for the roving rug.  We will need some nice bulky yarn to weave an inch or so at either end of the two rugs we will be making.  I've used Clun Forest (of course), and fairly quickly made up a 3-ply to do the job.  It's certainly pleasant/fast to be spinning thick singles and then plying 3 of them, probably into the 'bulky to super bulky' range.

The finished skein

It's certainly quite different to my current (and fairly normal) 1.8oz 160 yard skein.  This one is 2.2oz and 30 yards!  I have a little left on the bobbins, so will probably get another 10 yards - which will allow 4 yards used at each end of the two rugs.
