Finally spun my first yarn

by Mike on July 2, 2009

I SPUN YARN

Holy crap, did I just SPIN yarn?! Yes, yes I did. (on Rav)

I got a spindle kit at the Black Sheep Gathering [Event in Eugene, Oregon]. The kit came with a spindle, a booklet, and 3 batts of wool. At least I assume wool, sadly it didn’t have a descriptor about the fiber itself.

My first ball of handspun yarn.

From what I can tell this is undyed wool. But I could be totally wrong. lol. If you can tell me otherwise, please do.

It’s crazy thick & thin as I’ve no idea what the hell I’m doing. My second roving is coming out much better (below)

Lol, it is dyed wool. It’s probably domestic/corriedale/BFL or some other beginner’s blend. Batts are carded on drum carders and that makes them into that nifty blanket :) Very good start though! My first start was absolutely horrendous, I didn’t save it or take pictures it was that bad lol (first handspun before the first real one I showed on Rav lol)

that is so cute. i really like the colour of the first one. i hope my next scarf is made from yarn you spin. also if you could shear the sheep (or llama) while you are at it…that would really win the prize with me.
