Singles to 2-ply

Ball

This has become this:

Skein

I wish you could all squeeze this yarn.  It is so soft and so amazingly squishy.  It's just amazing.  My singles weren't very even and the final yarn really shows it but I'm entering it anyway because I want as many people as possible to squeeze it.  Ooo la la!  I need some expert advice on spinning even singles from carded and flicked wool.  Toward the end I switched from hand carding to flicking and spinning from the lock.  I got a little better but not a lot.  There's something I'm not getting... or I just need loads more practice.  I'd like someone with experience to watch me and give me pointers.

I'm bringing my camera so I'll have lots of pictures to post when I get back.  Have a great weekend!
