I have created 8 samples of fine yarn and still hoping that one will jump out at me for the lace scarf. I will say that I am getting more consistent and closer to a balanced 2-ply yarn. Before this I've always been over plied; now I can't seem to plie enough.
Singles are 60-70 wpi. I tried combing the wool but I like the carded results better; they are softer and still retain the sheen probably because I am spinning worsted style.

Sample # 6 carded, spun worsted

Here are a couple of photos of the results.

Hand carded very fine

Started to work on sample 4 today, but got interrupted and never did finish carding. This sample will be carded then spun worsted style.
Results of sample 3 were that it is slightly underspun and over plied. This is the frustrating part. I think I've done all the correct things to be sure it is plied to a balanced yarn. Must be missing something somewhere.

I don't know where the time goes, but it is June already. Even though I haven't been blogging, I have been spinning. I began with the fine fleece and have spun three samples: #1. I used a dog slicker brush to prepare the locks and spun worsted style from the tip end. WPI: 56 #2 I used Dutch combs and spun worsted out of the sliver. WPI:76 I under plied again, but tried to fix it this time. Not a good idea. #3 I used Dutch combs again and spun worsted using fewer treadles. Still working on this one. WPI = 62
