Adventuring

Guess what?  I learned to spin!  This is my very first bit of handspun yarn!

Now presenting, my very first mini skein of handspun yarn... "Adventuring"!


I love how it looks, even if it's uneven and lumpy in some areas.  It surprised me how much plying the fibers changed the appearance of yarn, it even helped hide some of my mistakes.  I enjoyed spinning it.


I titled it "Adventuring" because that is exactly what I was doing throughout the spinning of this yarn.  I was going on an "adventure" into the world of spinning.  My adventure was quite pleasant and fun. ;)


Anyways, this is my very first handspun yarn!  I can't wait to perfect my drop spindling and hopefully come up with some more even, beautiful, and colorful yarns.
