That bobbin... is still not full.

I've been spinning some more (obviously), but the bobbin is still not full. Which is partly due to the fact that I can't spin for a solid whole day - for one thing, there are some other work tasks to be done. Apart from that, though, and even more important: There's a limit to holding up the concentration necessary to do the yarn properly, so I have to take breaks between spinning sessions, and there's an overall limit to how many sessions I can fit into a day. This is different from day to day, depending on how fit I am and how nicely it goes, but inevitably, at one point, there's just too much variation for my taste coming in, and that means it is time to stop for the day.

Here's the current status of the bobbin:

Oh, and here is a closeup picture of the yarn on the bobbin... lying nicely and neatly side-by-side. Though the wool looks really homogenously white in the top, there's an amazing amount of pigmented fibres when you look closely at the yarn:

Speaking of pigmented fibres - I'm done with about a third, probably a little more, of the first batch of yarn (which, incidentally, is also the largest one). Next batch will be the same thickness, but the other twist direction and a little less hard-spun than the current one, and with pigmented fibres. They are already sitting here, having arrived today, and I'm really looking forward to having them run through my fingers. Soon. Soon...
