my first yarn
this past week i finished plying together my very first handspun yarn. this yarn was spun from 11 oz of wisconsin farm-carded cotswold fiber (from funwithyarn.com). it made 5 hanks of yarn -- i have yet to figure out what the yardage or the wraps per inch are and what i can possibly make out of it. this yarn has all the typical beginner mistakes - overspun and cork-screwy but i had so much fun making it. i find the spinning so relaxing. this yarn was spun on my bosworth morado maxi handspindle.
