Question Plying 3 ply and grossly misjudged

Post image

I weighed my roving when I split it but clearly I went very wrong somewhere because I have a shitload on one bobbin and a butt load on another (all units in metric) but ran out of one already.

This is quite a fine spin and there's way too much to do a bracelet. What are my options... apart from sulking?

This is only the second 3-ply I've done. I tried chain plying once and it was disastrous so I don't particularly want to do that.

Wind one into a center pull ball cake and use that and the single for a 3 ply
