The challenge details:
Fleece from Maine Island Sheep (rare breed) about 2 pounds unwashed
Washed, picked, carded batts for spinning: 1 pound 9 5/8 ounces
Three sample skeins spun to get required 9 WPI for knit project
Total yarn spun: 630 yards 2 ply 9 WPI (total spinning yardage 1260 yards)
Project knitted: Snuggly catbed used 280 yards of yarn
Yarn put in stash: 350 yards
I feel a bit at a loss for what to do, now that this is done. I have focused on it above all other projects. I have cast on for a pair of sock and have about an inch knit, so if I want I can work on those. But for now, I have been happy to have a day away from the fiber.
