Not so Bulky.

Why, oh why, can I not seem to spin a decently bulky yarn??

Handspun Bulky Merino

Here is my latest attempt--and the only one that I wouldn't classify as a "disaster." I guess its somewhat bulky but I'd say it averages out to about 10 WPI. I was really hoping for something in the 6ish range.

I still love it though--its ridiculously soft and squishy. I'm not sure how many yards I have yet (I still have a little more than two bobbins to ply other than what I have in the photo here). The total roving was about 8 oz (from the Fiber Den on etsy, btw).

so--what do you think:

cute quickie sweater for the munch?
hat/scarf for me?
some totally awesome 80's legwarmers?

I just can't decide--help me!!

That is truly yummy! I vote for something for the tyke. Then you can hug on her and fondle your yarn all at the same time!
Did that sound as weird as I think it did?
You know what I mean!
