Larger bobbins required

I finished of the chain plying of the blended wool last night, and the result was 110 yards 1.8 oz of yarn.  the downside was that at this weight of wool my bobbin can only hold 100 yards.  For this or other plying jobs I'll have to look at a wheel that can take larger bobbins.  Something to note for the future.

The skeins
 And now: give the wheel a good clean, apply some Lemon Oil to the wood and Vaseline to the leather bearings and it will be ready to pack away.
