When I finished spinning up the last bit of My hearts delight and plied all three skeins, I pulled out my Fawn Alpaca to get ready to start spinning. I began by splitting the 8 oz of Fawn Alpaca in half length wise placed each half into a separate bucket. Then I took one of the halves and split it in half length wise yet again, then I went back and split the other half in half yet again. I now had 4 buckets full of Fawn Alpaca and my 8 oz was now divided into fourths.
Once I had my Fawn Alpaca divided into fourths, I then took one of the fourths and began to start the spinning process. When I finished spinning up the first bucket, I then grabbed the second bucket and started spinning. When my bobbin was full I took the full bobbin off and replace it with an empty bobbin and started navajo plying my first skein.
When I finished navajo plying, I then wound my newly navajo plied fawn alpaca off my bobbin and onto my niddy noddy. Then I took my new skein off my niddy noddy and washed it, then went back to spinning up some more fawn alpaca. I continued this until I finished all 8 oz and had 3 skeins.
I didn't get all three skeins finished in August, only 2 skeins were finished and the third one was finished in September.
