Splitting Hairs....


In my quest to spin a fine(r) yarn, I decided to pluck a hair from my head, Jackie's head and Helen's head and use them as a control for the new fiber I am spinning.

The yarn sample started to unspin before I could tape it to the paper, but, if you compare the middle section, I am darn close.




Here it is on the bobbin. The fiber is superwash merino/tencel from Susan's Spinning Bunny. Originally purchased to spin sock yarn, I think the drape and sheen is more conducive to a scarf or shawlette. I only purchased 4 oz. but hope to get at least 500 yards.
