Signs of Improvement

I was hoping to update before now but came down with a terrible cold at the end of last week. I'm feeling much better now though. I finished a skein of yarn from the samples of coopworth wool I got from Wildhare. It turned out much better than my first two skeins. I made it multi colored by just using the different natuarally colored wools.



I also received the superwash merino I ordered from http://www.NaturalObsessions.etsy.com/ . I couldn't wait to spin it, after playing with all natural colored fibers it was so much fun to work with dyed fiber. I have already spun a little less than half of the 80z. and I love working with the merino it's so soft. I have some more fibers ordered and will share as soon as they arrive.

My First Blog Post


I've decided to start this blog to sort of keep track of my progress on my newest crafting adventure - spinning yarn. I recently purchased a top whorl spindle kit from http://www.wildhare.etsy.com/ and I'm very excited about learning this new skill. This is my first skein of "yarn".
