Getting there...

Top: 1 ounce, 44 yards, mostly dk weight, not balanced (3 twists on the skein)
Middle: 1 ounce, 42 yards, mostly worsted, almost balanced (1 twist on the skein)
Bottom: 2-1/2 ounces, 95 yards, mostly worsted, almost balanced (1/2 twist on the skein)

"Mostly worsted" meaning the thickness varies. Also the ply. But I'm persistent, and I have another 2-1/2 ounces left of Peachy Pink.
I found a great resource on different sheep breeds that I'll be coming back to often. I've worked with Lincoln, Corriedale, Merino, Merino/Silk, and Coopworth, and I've been itching to try more--more!--varieties. Next up after Peachy Pink will be more Merino (purchased early last year, so I'd like to spin it asap), then some lovely Clun/Cormo that Mia gave me last year from MDS&W.
Some time ago I posted a request on the Knitter's Review forums about a good book on sheep breeds--information on the sheep and its fiber. Responses I got were varied, but the top 4 to come out of that particular thread were Jonelle Raffino (The Woolery)'s The Spinner's Notebook: All About Wool, Handspun Treasures from Rare Wools from a 2000 edition of Spin Off, British Sheep and Wool, and Nola and Jane Fournier's In Sheep's Clothing: A Handspinner's Guide To Wool. Thought I'd share these with those caught up in the spinner's bug right now!











Getting there! Thanks for sharing your list of books. I don't know if you saw, In Sheep's Clothing was in IK's hurt book sale; I picked it up for cheap. :)
