It's gorgeous :) I really have to *work* to spin anything thicker than fingering when plied, and I don't knit lace! I understand your feelings about knit-ability. I've got my fingers crossed that you have enough for a sweater because that'd definitely rock the house! Love love LOVE that cabled yarn! It’s gorgeous :)

You did such a good job spinning, plying and cabeling. It's knitting up beautifully. I bought my first fleece (Cormo) last Memorial weekend that I've been slowly scouring, flicking and spinning it. It's been such a wonderful, tactile experience. I love everything from the smell of the unwashed wool (kind of a warm, animal smell and not at all like sheep poo) to the final 3-ply yarn. It's an experience I recommend to any spinner. Your yarn is beautiful! You did such a good job spinning, plying and cabeling. It’s knitting up beautifully.

I haven't tried this yet but can see why with all the variations of color it will spin up GORGEOUS!!! I know it must be so satisfying to spin what you have processed as opposed to buying roving (which is good too of course)!! I can't wait to see what you knit with this!!!! Looking forward to tomorrow!! LOVE the cabled yarn!!! I haven’t tried this yet but can see why with all the variations of color it will spin up GORGEOUS!!!

I love the way the natural black, browns and greys mingle together. You know you can send that up to Huntsville if you ever decide you're bored with it ;-) That Shetland is just glorious!

Can't wait to see what it becomes. I have just finished the 1st ply in a 2 ply BFL yarn that will go into my shop. It is sitting on the bobbin waiting to be plyed together. I also have a merino/tencel on a bobbin waiting to be plyed as well headed for the same place. Lovely, Lovely, Lovely. Can’t wait to see what it becomes.

Hopefully I eventuall spin some thin enough singles to give this a try. Very nice – -I like the idea of the cabled yarn. Hopefully I eventuall spin some thin enough singles to give this a try.
