This is what I had this morning---all these little skeins of single-ply, handspun.
I stuck them all in a hot bath to set the twist so I can start plying.

Tomorrow, maybe, I'll start plying. In the meantime, I'm reading Bilbo's Journey: Discovering the Hidden Meaning in The Hobbit. It's for my September bookclub; we're reading The Hobbit and this one together. So far, I'm enjoying his analysis of this book I've loved since I was young. I never read it from an analytical perspective; I just enjoyed it. I never thought that Bilbo might have something in common with Smaug, which his journey there and back again cures him of. I wasn't really planning to re-read it for book club (since I've read it many times before), but I might after all.
Very pretty yarn. I have never soaked mine before plying it. I usually ply right after spinning the singles and then soak it. Hope you get enough sun to dry it all!
