That’s the number of 2-ply yards of Lisa Souza’s Joseph’s Coat Biffle I spun up yesterday. It’s interesting to see how differently the biffle came out than did Angela’s merino in the same colorway.
Here’s mine for comparison:
And a close-up, which shows that it’s not really purple yarn at all, but a melange of many, many colors:
This was the first time I’ve spun with something specific in mind. Generally I just spin for the sake of spinning, and figure out what, if anything, to do with the resulting yarn later. This time I wanted sock yarn (hush), and got enough to do two pairs of socks out of it. As soon as it’s dry, I’ll cast on for the first pair.

Oh, Biffley goodness! It is a hairy yet lofty fiber, is it not? You get the message about Joseph’s Coat. It is serendipity with a plan but each time I do it, it can be different. Life lesson…let go. Your spinning is fab, Holly. I am really impressed and those socks will be yummy!
