Actually, doing some math--if i do spin a yard a minute on one of my good spindles, and i spin for 2 hours at work (have never timed how much i spin at work--its just not really feasible since i stop and start constantly to ring things up and do other work stuff), then thats 120 yards of singles a shift. So for a 3 ply yarn it should only take about 3 or 4 days to spin 120 yards of what im guessing would be a light worsted weight. Which is pretty damn good ! Desperately wanna know how much ive spun on my spindles so far, but i'll have to wait until ive plied it to get the yardage. I suspect i'll need one more shift to finish filling the spindles (ive got 1 full so far, 1 at about 2/3, and 1 at about 3/4.)
