Spinning more yarn :)

[shimmerngspirit.livejournal.com]

I spun another batch of roving. It turned out better than all the other wool I've spun. I used Knit Picks "Wool of the Andes" which was advertised as good for beginners. It was great for beginners.

I used my little drop spindle that my sweetie had to jury rig to make it heavy enough to be useful. I found it to be horribly annoying as I got more wool on it. I had to spin it in 2 batches. When it was done, I had 89 yards. I know how much I have because to go around my step stool is 1 yard.

And the finished yarn, washed, and ready to hang dry.
