I plyed up the singles from the Shetland fleece I have been working on, and the the net results so far are 5.5 oz and about 215 yards done up into two skeins. I never weighed the washed fleece, so I am only guessing that there are about 1.5 pounds left to card and spin. Here is it together.
And here is a closeup.
I'm not sure if I am going to try dying the finished yarn or not, but I'll probably wait until more of it is finished and I have a project in mind.
I returned the drum carder and I almost bought one on ebay today, but was outbid in the last 20 minutes. Probably a good thing, because the savings were not considerable over a new one, and there would be no recourse if anything was wrong with it when it arrived. I can wait.....it is not like I don't have anything to work on..............
Now back to some knitting..........

I keep thinking about a drum carder, too. And I keep looking at the used ones. And...there really isn't that much savings to the ones I have seen so far.
One day...
