I taught myself to Navajo ply! It wasn’t as difficult as I’d thought although my plying is not even by any standards. Still, I’m pretty happy with the results. <3

Specs

  • Cheeky Navajo
  • 350 m / 108 g (380 yd / 3.8 oz)
  • WPI: 22 (fingering)
  • Navajo ply
  • Fiber: 100% Falkland roving from FreckleFaceFibers, in colorway “Cheeky”

Some fiber porn and spinning photos!

The handpainted rovings are from Freckle Face Fibers: 4.2 ounces of BFL in “Duchess” and Falkland in “Cheeky”.

The brown one is a free 100g sample from Wollinchen that I got when I ordered my wheel (Kromski Sonata). Unfortunately I haven’t written down what it was — if there ever was any label on it — but looking at their photos I’m pretty sure it’s Black Welsh.
