Here’s the handspun I finished while isolating. I got a chance to give it a wash and whack to help set the twist.

This is a chain (or Navajo) 4ply which is an unusual construction. The main colour (dyed by Southern Cross Fibres) is chained during plying with the accessory ply being carried along.

It’s a challenging technique suited to spinners who are comfortable with regular chain ply and who have a tensioned Kate.
