I started my plying today. So far 278 metres done. I haven’t measured the thickness yet, but it looks to be about a 4ply weight at a rough guess. Here it is on the bobbin:

And here on the skeiner:

I am plying together one strand of grey Dorset, one of white Dorset, and one of superwash bluefaced leicester. I have now run out of the white Dorset, but there is still quite a lot of the grey Dorset and the bfl, so I think I shall spin up the rest of the bfl fibre I have (there was about 18g that I couldn’t fit on the bobbin yesterday), and ply that together with the leftovers.  I am really interested to see what this will be like when knitted up.
