Handspun yarn!

Well I have officially made my first 2-ply handspun yarn. It is a Merino wool mix dyed "Stormy Blue." I used an Ashford drop spindle with a top whorl that is 2.8 oz. As you can see it is not very uniform yet (but such a nice color!)

I will hopefully be purchasing a spinning wheel soon. I can't wait to take this to the next level. This could really be something that I really develop a passion for.

With my next skein of yarn I will take some step by step pictures and walk you through how to create lovely handspun yarn from fibers.
