April’s Junk

there’s nothing junky about it!

Spinning yarn

I have found a new love in the art of spinning yarn.  It’s taken me a few skeins to work out how to get decent yardage (the very first skein was 30 yards, and I’ve worked up to 106 now)  but I don’t think they are bad for the first yarns I have ever spun.  Without further adeau:

carnivale – this is the 2nd yarn I spun using commercially dyed mernio with about 5% tencel and 15% new zealand top wool, approx. 50 yards
