Adventures in Spinning

Between Sandi's new yarn spinning obsession and Brooklyntweed's beautiful pictorial tour of the spinning process, I just had to see what it was all about. So I ordered a cute kit from Maine Woods Yarn off Etsy that came with a top-whorl drop spindle and some wool.

My first yarn is not a thing of beauty, let me assure you. It is thick, lumpy, and twists up on itself in some spots...but it is yarn that I made with my own two hands, and that's exciting! Now I just need to go practice, practice, practice.
