Half Done
Amazing. Absolutely amazing that this much fluff (that's the other 2oz of fibre) makes this tiny little cop. I squished up the fibre in my hands to show Scott and the kids how much air is in the fibre, but it's still amazing.
Starting the second half now. Not certain if I'll ply it at all, or 2 ply, or chain ply. I don't think I'll chain ply. I suppose I could 3ply it, if I joined it together and split it in three?
A decision for another day.

I finished the 2oz (minus the tiny bit I gave Anne) last night. This is the cop, pulled off the spindle. I could conceivably do the whole 4oz but the merino pulls apart quite easily and I was starting to experience more tearing than spinning, so I called it at 2oz.
