Pleased with the way the singles are comig out. I'm planning a 3 ply for this fiber for a sweater that I have in mind. In this first picture you can see the roving balled up on the left, the wheel bobbin full of spun singles, and the 3 weavers bobbins I've used to store the singles onto. I'm putting them up in 3's like this so that I can rotate all the bobbins as I spin the final yarn. This distributes the variations throughout the entire yardage. Hopefully that helps with a more even yarn without taking away from the "homespunnyness" of the yarn.
