Start Spinning

As I mentioned earlier, I learned to spin and have finished my very first skein of yarn! Here it is, in all it's tiny glory!


It's only about 40 yards worth of yarn, but I'm so happy with it! I'm actually already busy on a new and more complicated spinning project in which I'm combining two colors. But here is a progress picture of the first.


I'm still contemplating what to make with these 40 yards. If you happen to have a good idea feel free to leave it in the comments! I do have something in mind, but I might very well do something else...

  1. Wow! That's pretty awesome - congratulations :) I made my first plushy last weekend. It's not actually as bad as I thought it would be. And sewing doesn't scare me any more lol

    How are you? What is the second colour you will be using for your project? Im intrigued to know more about the complicating spinning project! xoxo

    1. Great, thank you:) The second project will be grey and fuchsia and will hopefully turn out to be a nice scarf or cowl someday!
