I been wanting to learn spinning for quite awhile but somehow never really get to it. After looking at all the beautiful hanspun yarn in Ravelry, I can’t hold on to it anymore, I brought myself a spindle.
I been spend half of my time on spinning since I got my spindle, somehow I still can’t really control it, the yarn is kind of overspun with thick and thin. I am so eager to try the plying technique, I spun up about 2 oz. of fiber and start to ply it immediately and wah-lah ……….I have about 25+ yard of tropical punch !!!
However, in some part of the yarn is really overspun and I didn’t ply it with patient , it end up like a little crumb. I love the colour in the yarn but is a bit tooooooooo bright, now what am I gonna do with it..haha.

How are you doing with your spinning?
Just stopped in ,and saw your first handspun.
It is quite nice for starters.
