Blending Board Sweater Spin

I finished another big project this month!  I am not finished spinning the yarn from my blending board sweater project.  

I spun the first skein at the beginning of the project to be sure I was getting what I wanted, and I also wanted to swatch a little.  I was happy with the results, so I kept spinning, but I completed spinning all the singles before plying any more skeins.  

I rewound all the singles on to storage bobbins.  I wasn't too exact about numbering bobbins, but I did try to ply from first and last spun and work my way toward the center.  I think that I ended up with fairly consistent results from approaching it that way, the grist is all in a similar range.  

I was swatching with my first skein, but I ended up pulling that out.  Remember how I said that one was done first before I had spun the rest?  It doesn't look vastly different than the other skeins, but it has a lower grist than all the rest.  I think I could still use it with the other skeins without a lot of trouble, but I don't think it is the best skein to use as a gauge swatch for planning a sweater since the yarn is a slightly heavier weight than the other skeins turned out to be.

I ended up with 9 skeins weighing in at 877 g total (1.9d lbs) and adding up to 2,066 yards.  I'll have enough yarn for whatever I knit!  I think next time I want to spin for a sweater, especially if I am going to spin woolen, one and half pounds will be sufficient.
