First Attempt at Handspun

Feb 26, 2009 12:31

After getting a nice little drop spindle kit for Christmas (and failing until finding vids on youtube) I have my own little skein of yarn that I HAND SPUN!!! 100% alpaca fibre :D It's been drying for a whole day after I set the twist and I couldn't be happier - 76 grams and 113 yards of pure creamy softness, and I made it with my own two hands!
