Spinning that took for-ev-er

I’ve been working on this sea wool forever it seems. I started it on my Schacht Matchless, which is now my home wheel. So I couldn’t work on it at my spin-ins; and only when I was at home and wasn’t doing a zillion other things. I had finished the first two bobbins fairly quickly; but the third took a bit of time.

I finally plowed through it a week or so ago and did the plying last weekend. I did a 3 ply; when my original idea with this was a 2 ply lace weight. I decided I would like the three ply better. Plied up, it’s fingering weight, and fairly bouncy. I’m pretty pleased with how the colors distributed themselves. I tried to capture the variety in this picture by laying all three skeins out next to each other.
