I love that end view on the spindle, it's just awesome. :)
One pre-ply:
And post N-ply:
And then of course, there's the whole 770 yards, most of it washed and whacked, but the stuff on the ends still hasn't been washed. Because of the infamous cat-pee incident earlier this week, I want to re-wash it *all* at the same time. Then I need to find a good place for it to dry.
Wanna see a close up? :)
This is the first time I've done Navajo plying, and certainly the first time I've done more than a pound of yarn. While my silk did give me more yardage, that was frog-hair thin. :)
770 yards... You know, with most shawls needing 600, I could easily make a shawl and matching hat... :)

Thinks that no matter what you choose, it will be amazing because it's made from your handspun.
Just found your blog while doing a Google search for "wrist distaff" and I wanted to say your Bahama Blues turned out great. Also, I must know where you got that spindle because it's gorgeous. I'm kyspartan on Ravelry so if you're on there could you send me a PM? Thanks.
