I’m a Spinner!

Here is some of my first attempt to spinning! Now this is directly off my homemade Drop Spindle into a skein. I haven’t plied anything yet.

Aren’t the colors yummy! Don’t pay attention to the weird light green bits. Those don’t belong. I got the roving at a local shop in Eugene called Dyelots. It’s a great shop with some wonderful hand painted rovings. I think next time I may get it plain to try dying it myself. I have pictures of my dyeing adventures to show you, just not yet. :) Check out the Joy of Spinning for tips if you are interested in learning. I’m hoping to find a nice drop spindle at the Black Sheep Gathering if I can.
