r/spinningyarn

I have an abundance of spun yarn but nothing to do with it 😅. Do you guys figure out the wpi of your yarn and find patterns or adjust patterns for your yarn?

Like i just went to make gloves and the pattern i liked said fingering but i dont have any quite that size which is fine as im spinning some that might come out that way if i two ply it but does that count? If i 2 ply it to fingering weight or? What are yall doing with this?

I am starting my first sweater soon. It will be a Combospin with mainly merino but also a bit of Corriedale, BFL and Polwarth. The Merino has a very low staple length (5cm; 2 inches). I am used to a ratio of 10:1 with one treadle per draft. I suppose I would have to be a lot faster with the merino.
How do you spin your merino? Ratio, treadle per draft…
Would be really thankful for answers!
