Look, I made yarn!
It’s about 10 yards, worsted to bulky weight, 2-ply Coopworth from that class I took at Stitches West.
I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it, though. Maybe a scarf for Lil Miss’ Addy doll.
We didn’t really cover finishing the yarn in class. (I’m sure it’s in the notes packet we got.) I soaked it in cold water, and now I’ve read that you’re supposed to dunk it in hot water to set the twist. Spinners out there: Do I need to soak it again?
I am finding spinning very satisfying (when it isn’t making me want to throw my spindle across the room in frustration). This is good, since I already seem to be building up a nice stash of roving.
And I keep “window shopping” on etsy. Next thing you know, there’ll be a spinning wheel in my den. And possibly a sheep in my yard. At least then we wouldn’t have to worry about mowing the lawn, I guess.
