Knitting a 1902 Lady's Spencer with only Spindle Spun Yarn

Hello friends! You may or may not have noticed that my personal style is greatly influenced by historical and vintage fashion. I am very much inspired by Victorian and Edwardian Fashions, so let's dive into the Second Book of Hows out of 1902 once more!
In this video we will knit a 1902 Lady's Spencer out of my own Spindle spun yarn that I Spun during the #100daysofspindlespinningchallenge. During that 100 days of spindle spinning challenge I managed to spin 31 mini skeins of yarn out of my Flemish Sheep and Belgian Milksheep fiber. Will this be enough for this historic sweater (or well, cardigan) knitting attempt? Let's find out!
All of my yarn is also naturally or botanically dyed. The endresult might not entirely fit me as the Edwardians or Victorians have intended, but I am really happy with and proud of my new cosy little handknit cardigan. It only took me like half a year to make it.
The extant examples shown are found on the europeana collections:
