My First Plied Yarn

I spent most of the Christmas break sick, but luckily (thanks to amoxicillin) I started feeling better around New Year's Eve.  I spent the last bit of my vacation learning my new spinning wheel.  In case you missed my Christmas post, David made me a spindle wheel!  I love it. 


I started out with a braid of BFL (Bluefaced Leicester) wool, sent to me by a fiber friend who lives in Minnesota.  I spun 2 bobbins full of singles, and then got brave and plied the 2 singles together to make a 2 ply yarn.  I'm not sure I did it exactly right, but it seemed to work!


Now I need to figure out what to make with my yarn!
