I promise I'm not going to show a video of every skein of yarn that Emma spins.  But here she is last Saturday, plying for the very first time ever in her entire life...



...using the Corriedale singles she spun earlier that day as shown in the last video I posted.  Note, please, that she is (with great coordination!) plying from both ends of the ball of singles.  And here is the resulting skein.

Emma's first skein of yarn

50 yards
28 grams (1 oz.)

That was last Saturday.  Since then she has filled two bobbins with lovely natural brown Bluefaced Leicester singles.

I may have created a monster...

Lovely monster!!! My friend who was learning the drop spindle on Tuesday has found a spinning wheel to borrow... she's talking about buying one already! Such a wonderful addiction....
