288 yards of lovely two-ply harvest-coloured yarn, in fact.
I plied the HAY single I spun at the Twistle Sheep to Shawl event with with a semi-woollen Corriedale single that I dyed a deep red colour. The tone of the original result was too cool so I overdyed it with yellow and got a good brick red that complements the lofty woollen-spun single I spun from the yellow/orange/red of the HAY batts.
Stats for my records:
* 3.5 oz HAY batts
* about 2.5 oz Corriedale (I spun about 4 oz, used about two-thirds)
* Total weight of yarn: 5.95 oz
* Total yardage: 288 yards
* WPI: approximately 10 wraps per inch (worsted weight)

Pretty, squishy yarn:
Oh wow! Those colors are amazing!
absolutely gorgeous, rich colors.
In case I forgot to say it elsewhere – that is some seriously gorgeous yarn.
