I anledning af den nye blog, MM’s barnedåb i morgen og min sidste uge på barsel må vi have en lille konkurrence!
Jeg har i den sidste tid svedt over rokken for at komme igennem mit lager af alpaca fibre, og endelig er alle singlerne spundet. Nu kommer spørgsmålet så: Hvor langt bliver det færdige (2-ply) garn?
Hjælpeoplysninger: Spolerne er til en Ashford Traditional, singlerne er spundet så fint jeg kunne, og det færdige garn bliver totrådet, når det er tvundet.
Læg en kommentar med dit gæt inden d. 5. marts kl. 24.00 og du er med i puljen. Tætteste gæt vinder bl.a. håndspundet garn og andre gode fibergaver. Derudover vil der være en trøstepræmie, hvor vinderen bliver trukket tilfældigt.
I need to have a contest in honor of the new blog, MM’s baptism tomorrow, and my last week of maternal leave.
The last couple of months I’ve been toiling over the spinning wheel, trying to get through my stash of alpaca fibre, and finally I have all the singles ready to ply. Now comes the question: How long will the finished (2-ply) yarn be?
Some helping information: The bobbins are for an Ashford Traditional, the normal size, the singles are spun as fine as I could manage, and the finished yarn will be a 2-ply.
Leave a comment with your guess before March 5th at midnight and you’re in the running. The guess closest to the actual result wins handspun and other fibrery goodness. Furthermore, there will be a general prize to be given to a randomly drawn commenter.

I må ha’ en dejlig dag med barnedåb 😉
Og tillykke med den nye blog! Det ser ud til, at bloglines har misset en del indlæg på det seneste – i hvert fald hos mig. Godt jeg fik kigget efter nu du er “flyttet” 🙂

Welcome to your new blog! Yum- you’re singles look like they’ll ply into a soft, squooshy yarn. 🙂
Ok, I would guess that you will have about 830m or 860 yards.

Love having friends on WordPress – makes commenting so much easier for me 🙂
I have no idea whatsoever and was going to guess 830m but someone else got there first so I’ll go 820m.
Hope all is good with you – we went up to National Park for the weekend (and boys’ birthdays) but the weather was appalling and the mountain didn’t poke out of the cloud at all 😦
I bet the baptism was lovely – enjoy getting back into work 🙂
