Now when is that Yarnsnob going to show us some spinning I hear you all cry? Ok Ok…here goes……my first attempts, which I trashed but dug out of the bin so I can remember how crap I was! Art yarn maybe? Look closely….there are coils and plenty of them! See the twists? YAY! YARN!
It does get slightly better, really it does…..look this IS Art Yarn
…..and better still……there’s a bit of normal plying here
and navajo plying here……
a spin kept as singles…..
and…….Look SUCCESS! I did it! I’m having a real blast with my new toy……is this addictive or what!
Note to myself…..you can’t spin merino yet, so avoid until you can.

Your handspun looks fabulous, and I’m amazed at your n-plied yarn. You are obviously a natural spinner. 🙂

I’m clueless about spinning but you seem to be progressing well despite those first pics. I like the colour combination! 🙂 Have you decided on a project for your first hand spun yarn yet?

So glad you dug that original stuff out the bin! Even if you don’t keep it, at least you have a photo as record 🙂 You’re learning really fast, that latest yarn looks fab!

Your spinning looks great!
I so badly want a spinning machine. I have a drop spindle and I need to get going on that.

I am so glad to hear that someone else can’t spin merino, I thought it was just me!!! Spinning really is the most fun isn’t it?

You’ve come a long way! But I bet you can spin merino! I can…and my skills certainly are not better than what I see here!
