My thing yesterday was a straight worsted weight yarn in chocolate brown wool. Normally I only do 2 ply yarns, which, with the way I spin results in a sport weight yarn suitable for #2-4 needles. Last Sunday, I got a new lazy kate that allows me to use 3 bobbins at once, so I decided to ply 3 strands and make a worsted weight yarn.
It looks pretty even, despite the fact that my wheel probably needs to be oiled AGAIN, and I think I may need to add some kind of tensioning element to my lazy Kate...
My Papa has requested a heavy wool cardigan, so once I've knocked out enough, this is the yarn that I will use for that project.

Items 1, 3, and 4 need oiling CONSTANTLY to avoid squeekage. Item 9 needs occasional attention. The rest of the numbers have never needed anything from me. (Item 3 is the metal rod that is inserted into the bobbin when you're loading your wheel... If you don't pay attention to it, the middle of your bobbin and that rod will rust and not spin as they should.)
