Spin a mile in one day

I took on a challenge in the Tour de Fleece this year -- spin a mile in a day.

I managed to do it today.

I used the Paradis Canadian Production Wheel that Betty gave me.  It only has one bobbin, but I've spent the last couple of days experimenting on how much the bobbin would hold, so I figured I could do it in 2 bobbin if I spun it fine.

Here's bobbin 1 -- 540 wraps on a 2-yard niddy noddy (a little more than 1000 yds):

and bobbin  -- 435 wraps on a 2-yard niddy (a bit more than 800 yds):

The two skeins on the scale:

That's 4 1/8 oz, so unless I've got the math wrong, that's about 6900 yards per pound.

It took just over 10 hours off and on today.

I'm pretty please with this.  And very, very tired.
