My Yarn
I thought it was time to take out the spindle and make a little yarn. My last few attempt have been less than inspiring, but today I actually got yarn! Honest to goodness yarn that I could actually knit up! It has taken a bit of practice, but I think I'm finally getting a more even draw (?!? I don't know any real spinning terms since I pretty much taught myself from a very old book I found at the local library) and my singles are much finer. Previous yarn was very lumpy and uneven. So this is a 2 ply brown shetland wool. and here is a close up:
I'm so proud that I think I'm going to go purchase some Blue-Faced Leicester roving which was recommended to me by
Caroline who is sending me one of her beautiful spindles in trade for some of my stitch markers. If you want a spindle too -- just check out her new website
