Finished Two-Ply Cotswold Yarn

Since my last post, I’ve finished spinning the entire pound of Cotswold roving I bought from Morro Fleece Works. Here are the results, after spinning, plying, and setting the twist:

I really like the way this turned out. As I mentioned in my last post, I spun this fiber long-draw, and I think that was the right decision. it turned out nice and fluffy, just the way I had pictured it. I only ended up with about 400 yards though – quite a bit less than I was hoping for – so I’m either going to have to buy and spin more of this, or I’m going to have to use it with another yarn if I want to make a vest.

I haven’t measured the twists per inch (tpi) but I have measured the wraps per inch (tpi). It’s about 9 wraps per inch – or the equivalent of worsted weight.
