Wool/silk skein

I finished plying the spun singles this morning.  The carded batt was extremely easy to spin into very fine singles, and the plying was a breeze.  It turned out to be about 175 yards of 2 ply (9 twists per inch), at laceweight/fine (27 wraps per inch) and weighs 1.2 oz.  I think the luster has certainly improved over straight Clun Forest.

Finished CF/silk blend skein

I should be able to produce enough yarn for a shawl from this wool - and will be doing some dye samples to make sure we can produce appropriate colours for the finished product.

While spinning the singles yesterday I found time (on a rainy day) to finish the peppers (roasted, sliced, frozen) and start three batches of limoncello (to be ready for Christmas gifts).
