First handspun

I made my very first skein of yarn. I had some pink and brown and skeined them together. I am happy with the results. I plan to make the felted slipper clogs from Fiber trends with my very first yarn. It has been washed and is now drying. Can't wait to knit with my creation.
Happy Dance!!!!

A New adventure!!!

I has started a new part of my knitting life. I have now added spinning. I learned to spin on a spindle a few months ago. I just bought a wheel a week ago and had my first lesson yesterday. I think i did good. I bought the Ashford Traveller.

I also jumped in and bought a whole fleece. It is a smaller one at 3.6 pounds, but a lot to me. I figure I want to get back to nature and spin the natural way.

My new Ashford Traveller.

Sheep shearing at Rising meadow Farm in Liberty, NC

Part of Mocha's fleece I washed last night. it feels so rewarding to see it come off the sheep and see if I can make it into yarn. It is a pretty coco color. The picture doesn't do it justice.
It think this will keep me busy for a very long time.
