My newest project is a baby blue and yellow pairing. I used the navajo ply to practice my skillz and this is what came off my bobbin:


Unfortunately I didn't get much because I used my new wheel to create this and we fought the entire time. I like the colors and I think I may try this again... I just hope I can get more that 18 yards off at a time!

Next quarter is shaping up to be exciting. I will be not only learning new techniques for spinning, but I'll also be learning how to weave! How sweet is that? Anywho, I gotta start getting my cash together so that I can buy accessories and all the other supplies I'll need. If you want lessons or want to buy any hand spun yarn, let me know. Soon enough I'll set up an etsy account for everyone to enjoy!

Time to drag myself to class... ugh

New Spinning Wheel!

After only a few months of spinning, my teacher has recommended that I start to teach in my own right. Of course I was flattered, but also a little nervous. To encourage this, she gave me information on a used spinning wheel and accessories for about $200. How could I pass this opportunity up? What I got was this:




A loverly Ashford Traditional spinning wheel in near mint condition. No large marks, no malfunctioning parts. Just pure, simple spinning bliss.... In any case, I now own two pretty wheels and am ready to go crazy with spinning. The colorways are swirling in my head and I can't wait to get them out of my head and onto the bobbin!
