wool was dry. This morning I took the wool, I had washed yesterday and carded it up into a batt that weighted 1 5/8 oz. Wednesday's batt was 3/4 oz and yesterday's batt weighted 1 3/8 oz. So the total oz I've washed and carded since Wednesday totals 2 3/4 oz so far.
Before I started spinning though on Wednesday I weight my first bobbin when it was empty and it weighted 2 oz. Today after I finished filling up the first bobbin I weighted it again just to see how much it weighted when full and it weighted 4 5/8 oz. So if I deduct 2 oz from this for the empty bobbin I have 2 5/8 oz spun up of singles.
I still had more wool to spin up, after I finished filling up the first bobbin, so I put on another empty bobbin and started spinning again. When I finally finished spinning all the wool I carded this morning I had filled my second bobbin about 1/2 of the way full.
I washed some more wool this afternoon, so tomorrow I'll be carding and spinning again. I might even finish filling up the second bobbin tomorrow and start plying my yarn.
