Spent most of the weekend playing with fiber. I don't always allow myself the luxury of spinning what I produce to sell to other people to pay for having all this fun raising my own fiber. I do like to do some "quality control testing," while spinning and knitting my own yarn. My spinning is slightly tight and overspun, more so with plying, giving my yarn a "left hand bias" while knitting. I don't really have the energy or determination right now to remedy that problem, but the worsted spun makes for great sock yarn, so what's the worry?

Wound Too Tight

that's right no worries - overspun just means energized anyway! You're entitled to enjoy the fruits of all your labor :)
