This is the most gorgeous skein, Susan. I loved how it felt–so plush and springy.

Your spinning is beautiful!!

When you find your “thing” you have to go with it! Your yarn is gorgeous.

Yes. I’ve swatched that way, and think you are right. The structure is better, the bounciness is better, the evenness speaks for itself.

Hearing you say it embeds it in my spinning brain even better.

Do you also think that three-ply is the way to go for handspun destined for shawls/scarves? It does look fabulous!

Gorgeous! I need to try my hand at 3-ply now.

For someone who doesn’t get the spinning thing at all–yours sure does look cool.

3ply really is awesome. Maybe it seems immature and inexperienced of me (I fear that it make me seem that way) but… 3ply nearly feels more professional than 2ply? There’s something about it that has a finer finish. It’s more even. It’s rounder. It’s bouncier. Plus the benefit of durability. I love the 3ply. I’m still doing 2ply too, but for different projects. the 3ply just seems a little more “special” in the world of hand spinning.

I’ve come to the same conclusion about 3-ply. An added bonus is more dimensionality when cabling too! That looks like fantastic yarn to work with.

Susan, let me know when you’re ready to branch into weaving.
