I did about twelve ounces of the singles while I was off for President&#8217;s Day, and did all of the plying from center-pull balls\u00a0this weekend. I am pretty happy with how it came out. While I normally don&#8217;t wash the handspun I use for weaving, this has a fair amount of oil still in it, so I may just wash it all before I use it to weave with, to save any of it from getting on the loom.
