There we go, done with Periwinkle's fleece!
Will measure it out tomorrow.

One of the two Billy '18 chain ply is done!

I also figured out what to use to raise the bobbin to better match the flyer w/o causing much drag.

Thinking of adding a plastic circle to the top & bottom of bobbins to allow them to be better filled w/o going over the edge.

Made some from thin cardboard. Seems to be working.

Finally finished all of the 2018 billy fleece.
Filled up pretty nicely.

What makes that spun wool so much less bumpy than some of your other bobbins full?

If you mean the messy 2018 billy...
Drafting properly instead of letting it go haywire. Lol. But also because I alternated with the shorter, more spongy wool and the longer, straighter wool.
Then ran out of the spongy wool and decided to finish the longer wool more properly.

Drying!

Well I like the bumpy stuff too! Looks like it would make a cool stocking cap.
