A small skein of handspun grey yarn nestled amongst white skeins.

A green tub full of small skeins - one is grey, and the rest are white.

Andean bracelet plying - a grey single is wrapped around a hand in a way that lets both ends of the thread spool off without tangling to make a 2 ply yarn. Pictured is the back of a white woman’s hand with outspread fingers, wrapped with thread.

I’ve been spinning some neutrals for tapestry projects, and Andean-plied the first last night. A wee 18g skein!
