The bobbin on the left is the bobbin finished filling up today with the fleece that I washed yesterday and carded the morning. I weighted that bobbin to see if it weight as much as the first bobbin but it was 1/8 oz shy of weight the same as the first bobbin. Then I weighted both bobbins together to see what they both weighted and they weighted 9 1/8 oz. Now my bobbins weight 2 oz empty so I subtracted 4 oz from the 9 1/8 oz and I figure that the yarn I have spun weights 5 1/8 oz.
When I finished spinning up all the carded fleece from yesterday, I went down and washed up more fleece. I wanted to make sure I had fleece to card and spin tomorrow after I came home from church and buying groceries.Once I had washed enough fleece for tomorrow, I then went back upstairs and plied the two yarns together. I filled my bobbin as full as I could get it, then I wound it off onto my niddy noddy and washed the yarn. Its hanging to dry right now.
