Made a 2-ply. The singles are pretty consistent in weight. They were definitely well rested after 4 years, so to get a yarn I was happy with, I had to put a lot of twist in to get a yarn I liked - with the super rested singles, it was hard to tell if it was balanced!

Got to use my new plying spindle!

This is one big skein with a slip knot between the cops; one bigger ball and a smaller one.
