And here it is all plied up: Total yardage is 308 yards and it weighs 4.1 oz (116 grams).
Is it sock yarn? Ummmm….. maybe sport weight sock yarn.
Most sock yarn comes in 100 g put-ups. If I express the yardage I got in terms of yards per 100 g, I got 266.
Compare to Felici fingering sock yarn at 436 yards/100 g, or Felici sport sock yarn at 328 yards/100 g. Not so close.
BUT…. I think mohair might be heavier than wool. I couldn’t verify this quickly in either of the Clara Parkes books on my shelf, though, so I’m just not sure.
Hmmm. I’ll just have to keep spinning to figure this out.
I think it's beautiful, no matter what the weight and you should darn well make some socks out of it.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Steven...that yarn is quite lovely!
