I will have heaps left over too,its a bit coarser than I would have liked but being a five ply its fairly quick and just thick enough to make boot socks for my elastic sides next winter!
And I am so excited,this lace weight arrived this week,the magazine with the pattern for Icarus will be here shortly from The Wool Shack in Perth...Heavon knows where I will find the time to do it but its waiting for me,
The skein is some merino that I spun this week to clear the bobbins so I could spin that alpacca silk and merino that I have been trying to get to for the last month(or two) Its spun too,only 100g boohoo... I have to get some more as I think I got around 110m in a 8 ply, out of the roving that I had to play with, so I will need at least another 100 to 150 g to make a scarf.Its a bit overspun in parts but I am quite happy with it and only when I knit it up will its true nature appear.... picture soon....
Ooh, your sock looks good! Nice handspun, too. Sheeshe, I need to learn to spin!
