They kept multiplying....6 in all (maybe I need more bobbins...who would have thought!)
Then I plied them! Here is some of the yarn wrapped on the niddy noddy (this pics is for those who don't know what a niddy noddy is...I was right with you a few months ago...but they are handy little things)
and a close up!
So the 6 bobbins turned into 6 skeins of yummy yarn!
This is in the prewashed state. Now the yarn is drying all over my apartment :)
a close up! It is 70% Shetland, 30% Mohair...710 yds.....14.7 ounces of yarn! I think it turned out fairly uniform too!
This is my favorite pic with Lindy in the background. (shhhh...this yarn is a Christmas present for a dear friend....shhhhh don't tell)
