I spun some yarn!
Jan. 2nd, 2005 07:22 pmI got an Ashford Traveller spinning wheel for Christmas - I know I am spoiled!! I learned to spin on a drop spindle but I only spun a couple skeins before I got this beauty. Anyway this is what I have spun so far. =)
This one is very very soft Corriedale wool plied with an iridescent thread. About 110 yards.

This is a pretty bad picture, but this is kind of a luxury yarn (minus my bad plying skills). The green is 80% Merino 20% Silk, which I plied with the white 100% alpaca. It is sooooooo soft!! I think its 125ish yards.

This is the one I spun today. Its 53 yards. I love the colours! I am not used to spinning with uncarded wool so it turned out all slubby and bumpy!
