Check as you go, and keep a reference piece of yarn to work to. Some folks recommend washing your skein and whacking it vigorously to help even things out. I've never done it myself, but folks I respect recommend it. :) Mim’s got the right of it. Check as you go, and keep a reference piece of yarn to work to.

Very nicely done :) My recommendations are this. Spin a single that when folded back on itself makes the kind of finished yarn you want (if you want more ply, put more twist into the single and then keep a sample of the single AND the ply-back on a card while you spin. Then you can reference the single AND the ply back as you're spinning. When I'm spindle spinning before I wind onto the shaft, I always let it ply back on itself a bit and check to make sure it's spun enough and the ply looks like I want it to, if not, I change it, check it and only wind on when I'm satisfied. Of course, this only works for 2 ply. But it helps me a lot. M It’s lovely! Good job! Very nicely done :)
