Spinster #1


My First Handspun. It's 2 ply that we finished in class this week. Where's everyone else's? It's definitely different than machine processed yarn - it's poofier, fluffier. It just has more life.

Funny how I couldn't stop myself from spinning the entire section of roving we made in class - it's so easy to spin, so fluffy, and so pretty! The roving (before spinning) is on the right, and the finished yarn is on the spindle.



I've also been very very preoccupied with this fluffy critter, Colby. He's so adorable. sigh.

The green stuff looks especially nice. Did you just take long strips from the bat & pre-draft it or did you make rollags?

I pulled off strips, which is easier to deal with than rollags in that you don't have to draft. It spins really easily.
