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)
