Good Morning
Woke up with a headache. Here is a picture of some beautiful fiber to to look at. The top is Ashley's sock yarn. I think it is Ashland Bay River Rocks. Now some might say, "Hey that's a small skein!" Actually, it's not. I have huge hands. My friend Peg calls me "Big Hands". (long story... needless to say smokers get spankings. ) I can palm a men's regulation basketball. I skeined this up on a Niddy Noddy with a 2 yard plus wrap around. x 384 wraps around.
The Orangey stuff is the Fiber Optics Cayenne. I am Navajo plying it. I'm guessing it will be fingering - sock weight and hoping for about 420 yards but I won't cry if it's more or less. I don't use the stuff yet.
