Yesterday I freed up even more bobbins and promptly washed and dried the newly plied skeins: (top) Goblin, (bottom) Moonlight.
This morning I realized I forgot to thwack the yarn. Thwacking is part of the finishing process - it helps to distribute twist, set the twist, and causes the fibers to bloom. Plus it's pretty darn fun.
Goblin, made with Jacob wool, had plumped up nicely with an even twist so I skipped the process.
Moonlight was a bit more uneven and could use the help. I resoaked the nearly dry skein and thwacked it.
