Bountiful Grab Bag 1

Kristi's first hank of hand spun singles yarn spun on her Majacraft Suzie Pro.

Date: 2005-06-19
Fiber Source:
Bountiful 8 oz Grab Bag Purchased at the Estes Park Wool Market 2005
Weight: .8 oz
Length: ~20 yds
Ply: Singles
Set Method: Steamed on Niddy Noddy
WPI: ??
Gauge: ?? (heavy worsted, perhaps even bulky)

Notes: This very first hank of hand spun yarn off of my Majacraft Suzie Pro wheel is very rustic. I had issues treadling smoothly, possibly due to being on carpet or the chair I was sitting in, not to mention I had only previously clocked about 3-4 hours on spinning wheels prior to this spinning session. The steam treatment for setting the twist seemed to work quite well, with less bloom than wet setting. So, when used for a project I must take into account some additional bloom after blocking the item.
