Bobbin got too full

Bobbin got too full by elemmaciltur.
Start: 16th May 2008
Finish: first bobbin of singles on 17.05.2008; second bobbin of singles on 18.05.2008; Plied on 19th May 2008
WPI: 15 WPI
Yardage: Bobbin: 304 metres / 82 g; Spindle: 48 metres / 13 g
Fibre: 3.3 oz / 95 g of The Yarn Wench Domestic in "Feather", sent to me by KnottyNaomi
Wheel & Settings: Singles spun worsted and two-plied on Kromski Minstrel, 8.5:1 double-drive. Left-over singles Andean-plied on Butterflygirl Designs 1.6 oz carved Agate top-whorl

I got the bobbin so full that it wouldn't take on any more yarn, so I had to break off and make an Andean-bracelet to ply on the spindle.

It's very interesting how the colours turn out differently between the wheel plying from two bobbins of singles and Andean plying from just one strand of singles (when the plying bobbin got filled up, I had only a little singles left on one of the bobbins, so the Andean bracelet was made using pretty much the singles of the other bobbin).

: They're drying right now. Actually, skeined up, they aren't that different. The spindle plied one just hit the lighter spot of he singles, that's why it looks so different. :-)
