It's too bad that cabling eats up the yardage. Nice stuff all around, but that cabled yarn is particularly gorgeous. It’s too bad that cabling eats up the yardage.

I'm still finding my way on the different weights as well -- just a slight difference can make a huge difference LOL! - but if it's any use, for a 3-ply fingering, I aim for about a 42 wpi single, and at least that one seems to be coming out fairly consistent for me.

Thanks for the review. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of the others. I recently tried Falkland for the first time, and quite liked it. I'm working on some Corriedale right now; jury's sitll out on that one. :-) It does look soft and lofty — nicely done! Thanks for the review.

I'm stuck on the light fingering zone. I could probably fix it if I spun 4-ply instead of 3-ply, but I want to learn how to tell the fiber what to do and not let the fiber misbehave and make me adjust my plans. All your FOs rock.
