Third yarn's a charm
I love love love love love this yarn. I love love love love loved spinning it.
I had nearly spun all of this fiber before I thought to take a photo of it. Here it is with the singles. The fiber is Polworth from Spinning Bunny in the Parrot colorway*
And here's the yarn it turned into. The color's better in person, of course.
And a closeup.
* Do I sound like I know what I'm talking about? I'm trying, but I don't. I'm just faking it.

Beautiful! You've done a great job - it looks so even, and I love the colourway!

That is amazing. I am so jealous!

I have to say, VERY nice. Very very very nice. I would be pleased as punch to spin yarn that lovely and I simply love how the color is flecked. It's a nice varrient of a multi-colored roving and the results are really stunning.

That is bee-u-tee-ful. Gorgeous. Maybe I need to go buy more roving and play with purples and reds. And a little green. Yes, I definitely think so.
Any idea what you're going to use it for?

So I'm guessing I don't have to do much to get you addicted to the wheel, then...
Posted by: Lee Ann at September 29, 2006 12:20 PM
Awesome!

Kate, it's gorgeous! The yarn looks so even (yes, it's singles), and your plying is great. How many yards did you end up spinning? Also, try Blue-Face Leicester too. Like buttah.

Ok, I must be the only one that doesn't get how to spin. What am I doing wrong? My spinning wheel dreams of creating beautiful yarn too.

Just gorgeous! Those are my kinda colors. I'm no spinner (yet) but looks like you were born to spin...
Posted by: Carol at September 29, 2006 11:45 AM
Wow! I'm impressed! My first yarn didn't look anywhere near that good!!

Are you sure you haven't secretly been doing this for years?
