I think I might love spinning.
Like crazy-mad-obsessive new love:
And like most silly girls with new boyfriends I want to spend all of my time with the spinning:
And I don’t care.
Because I’ve now spun almost everything in my house:
That would be approximately 92 yards (it started as 5 oz) of Shetland Wool from Blackberry Farm that I got at the Great Lakes Fiber Festival spun and plyed. Next time I need to add more twist to the singles so they don’t unspin so much when I ply it. I’m learning.
So all that’s left for me to spin now is the fire:
And something tells me that the only thing more fun than spinning is going to be spinning with color.

The handspun looks great! hehe... you'll know exactly how to get everything you want out of your spinning in no time. :)
