Handspun Yarn...
Jun. 5th, 2005 09:16 pmI'm finally getting decent at spinning, so I thought I'd show off my latest creations. =]

Not plyed, just spun together... I make a mess when trying to ply. =\

This yarn is crazy pink... <3333

Also, a couple questions:
I use a drop spindle, but can only spin 100-150 feet before it gets full... Do they make bigger drop spindles, or is there a way to connect one spun skein to a second without tying a knot?
Also, I hang my yarn to dry after setting it, but is there any real reason it can't go in the dryer? I tried it with one skein, and it didn't felt up or anything, but are there any issues that might come up if I dry them like that?
