Well, it's almost "my" first skein of yarn. Sue made the really thin parts. I made the rest. I double plied it by hand tonight, bit by bit. I'll set the twist tomorrow morning. And then I'll figure out what to do with it. Fortunately, what I'm spinning now is MUCH different! :):)
Not all of the ply hangs together the way it's supposed to. This, too, is a learning process. It will go much better when I'm not plying off of only one ball of yarn! The center and the outer, all wound together into "yarn." While I'm watching a movie, too.
My sister tells me: she's glad I'm learning about this stuff. Why? Because I'll come back to the States and sit down at my spinning wheel and spin and spin. Rapunzel - my new name!
Now - how DO you turn straw into gold, anyway????
Meanwhile, this is what my sister makes:

Woo HOOOo! You did a great job plying! You are right practice always helps. Good Job! Keep playing with it. That bulky yarn makes good weavings or a hat. Remember the purple/gray hat I knitted for you out of my early yarns? It was bulky and knitted up quick and easy. Enjoy your new found talents.
Your sis sure makes a gorgeous quilt! Such talent all in one family.
