Handspun Yarns

Spinning might be the most time consuming thing in craft category I've ever done!  It is not for people who need yarn right away.  After spinning a 2-ply, a single ply and a short single ply, I had to soak yarns and then dry them overnight.  I added a small amount of gentle dish soap with cedarwood-mint scent.  The yarns still smell nice even after rinsing and drying.

This 2-ply yarn is mainly brown-peach with some random yellow, orange and light blue fiber mixed in.  Brown mixed with lots of warm colors gave nice warm feel to this yarn.

This single-ply is mostly brown-dark green with nice splash of warm colors.  I can't wait to knit with this yarn.

The last one is the brightest one and I'll probably end up using this one as an accent.

All the roving or batts I used for these yarns came from Unique Design by Kathy.  Last Saturday, I joined Kathy and other spinners to spin together and chat.  Everyone brought in own spinning wheel so I was the only one with a hand spindle.  Big thanks to those ladies who answered my never-ending questions!  I've been spinning for 2weeks now and I have lots of questions.  There are some good tutorial videos on YouTube that I found very useful.  I'll be spinning more after Christmas.
