Plying

I have continued spinning the Columbia X roving and this morning I finished filling three bobbins.
I have enjoyed spinning this wool, but have been impatient to get to plying, as I could tell this would make a nice three ply. I plied three skeins full, until one bobbin ran out. Now I re-fill the bobbins with singles, and I repeat the plying again. So far I have 820 yards of three ply yarn (10 ounces).
I am thinking that I may use this to make a pair of Bavarian Twisted Stitch stockings.
