First skein in NZ

Finished the first skein last night - using the multi-coloured singles I have been working on over the last three nights after work.  The plying went very smoothly; the Ashford Traditional is a great wheel and it took no time at all to fill a bobbin - which are slightly smaller than the ones on the Rappard upright in the US.  I haven't yet worked out the yardage and weight but will do soon.
First 3-ply skein from the Ashford
There is enough fiber for at least one more skein if not two - plenty of more work.  This should work quite well as a contrast stripe with some plain Clun Forest white in a scarf.
