So here is my second attempt at spinning BFL dark, my 8th spinning experience overall. This is one ounce that I spun over 2 days. The spinning is becoming more and more consistent. I would call this worsted to lace weight yarn. Some of it is still rather thin, but I am getting the hang [...]

The best in wrist support
So this is what I knit with one of my first handspun yarns this morning. I figured I should use some of it since I am spinning more. This was done this morning at the library during my son’s story hour. I just finished up with the lacing and had to block the thumb a [...]
