YPF

This week's pr0n is one of my homespuns (and a view out my bathroom window). It's a merino/silk/alpaca blend in Blueberry Patch from Susan's SpinningBunny. This was one of the fibers my mom and sister got me for Hanukkah last year.
I started with 6 oz. Since I still haven't gotten a scale, I don't know what I ended with. I know I lost a bit of it during spinning.


I'm thinking of running it through my wheel again to ply it a bit tighter. I have about 170 yards of worsted weight+. No... I haven't done a WPI on it yet. I did manage to get it relatively even, but I still have no idea what to make out of it.

Any opinions on running it back through the wheel to tighten it up? It's rather fuzzy, so even loosely plied it would probably still be rather warm.
