My first handspun!

Spinning did not originally appeal to me but where knitting could not inspire, weaving did. The loom asks me to feed it something original. Today was my first time: on Danny's lovely Lendrum spinning wheel with a passionate teacher at hand. From some indifferent Briggs and Little pencil roving came this bulky, cushy, two-ply yarn I actually like.

Danny tends to make fine yarn but I like funky. Spinners tell me it's hard to relearn to spin it chunky way they did when they began. I'll just have to keep practising.
