Ok, before you get excited, that title just means that I’ve finally finished spinning the grey.  It’s done, done, done, and the last 1000 yards is hanging to dry even as we figuratively speak.

Done, done, done.

Done, done, done.

Nope, I’m not feeling as if I’ve just accomplished something major or that there’s been a weight lifted.  Nope, not at all.

Done, done, done.

Done, done, done!

Ok, maybe I am.  :)

For 3.7 pounds, at 10-11 wpi and 10 tpi, there is a grand total of somewhere over 2500 yards.  That yardage count is a bit iffy because I lost count one time too many and refused to go back and count the entire thing again.  I DO know that there is at least 2500 yards there.  It’s a nicely soft yarn, despite the high twist factor.  I need this yarn to be fairly sturdy, so I span the singles to the edge of being hard, counting on softening that in the plying process, and then plied with a fairly high twist.  Finally, it was subjected to a very abusive wash, so it plumped up and solidified nicely.  Now if I can just finish it before next Christmas!
