Apparently, one of the hardest things to do is spin a heavier yarn once you've figured out how to spin laceweight!
So, naturally, I had to try. Especially as I really don't want to knit Sleeves In Your Pi in a laceweight yarn when the pattern calls for a worsted weight yarn at 10WPI.
I pulled out 200g of turquoise merino that I bought at fibrefest and went for it.
I ended up with 232.75 yards of 9WPI yarn!
So now I have to call in my extremely dubious math and work out how much I need for the shawl which takes upto 2200 yards.
I'm going to need 2200g.......right?
