So that’s what skein winders are for! This is 2 ply silk, looking suspiciously thin:
2oz hand-dyed tussah silk from Spunky Eclectic in Burning Embers
364 yds, wheel-spun 2 ply, fingering to laceweight.
Three hundred and sixty four yards! Skeined this on a niddy noddy and it took a while. I spun it as an experiment to see how thin I could get the singles. Thin silk was easier to achieve than thin wool, but I made the goal of fingering weight or thinner. Also learned more about what the tension on the wheel should be with this skein. I think it turned out pretty well.

Pretty well? It turned out beautifully! š I’ve only ever spun her wool roving, but I bet her silk is just as well prepared and fun to spin.
Now, what to do with the yarn? š Lace scarf, maybe?…
Wow! It is unbelievable! I jusr can’t believe how thin it is! Hopefully the OT at work will end soon so I can spin again!!!
Beautiful and great yardage, too!
