Second Skein

Second skein, first of the Autumn Flame.  I already see improvement in terms of consistency and plying.  I used Abby Franquemont's plying ball technique, and it worked better for me.  Oddly, I wound up with uneven lengths of singles, which led to me having to draft my husband to help me ply.  I know this is simply operator error, and I will manage better this next section.

I managed to split my first spindle and have now replaced it with a Schacht Hi-Lo Spindle.   At 2.2 ounces, it is heavier than the one I broke, but it is is nicely balanced and spins well.  The weight made a noticeable difference in plying this skein, and I'm really happy with it.
