I didn't have much time to spin last night, so I only got 5.5 oz of merino singles and 0.7 oz of the yak/silk blend from Abstract Fibers spun.
The yak/silk is gorgeous fiber, but is spinning very slowly. It really doesn't like long draw, which is odd since yak normally works very well with that technique. I think the yak and silk fibers are just too different in length. I may bail on this fiber for Spinzilla, just measure what I've already spun, and offload it to a storage bobbin. It will be spectacular yarn, but I'm after speed this week.
