I couldn’t help myself – I went a little photo crazy with my latest handspun! I think you can see why…

This top had such great blocks of colour, and I really wanted to preserve them. So I split the top vertically all the way down the length, and spun each half separately from end to end.

Then I chain-plied the singles into a very light, 3ply yarn.

I thought I had done a pretty good job of splitting the top evenly, but one skein is 15g heavier than the other! The heavy skein is also a touch thicker overall.
