This is essentially a part 3 of 3 in the unofficial little mini series of different and intentional ways to spin a dyed braid. This skein came from a 4 oz braid of Falkland from Three Waters Farm in the colorway "Falling In Love." The previous two skeins were also from Three Waters farm, the first was a chain ply and the second was a single-ply.
For this spin I split the fiber in half lengthwise and spun the first half end to end. The second half I divided an additional four times and spun each of those sections end to as well. I spun these on my Flat Iron in Scotch Tension on the 10.4:1 ratio. I've done a lot of long draw and double-drive spinning on this wheel and now I'm making an effort to get comfortable with spinning more worsted yarns as well as using ST (and maybe soon I will start playing with IT as well.)
Here is the finished braid:
