Save your first handspun because it's fun to look at once you get really good (I haven't gotten there yet, but an expert spinner friend showed me her first yarn and it was lumpy just like mine) Just keep at it and it gets easier and the yarn more yarn-like. For me, pre-drafting the fiber is the key.

You look like you are having a blast with your wheel! Kind of how I felt squirting dye all over yarn this weekend. For some reason, my handpainting results don't look like the Koigu I was envisioning. But I imagine it's like spinning, or any other new skill--I learned tons from my mistakes.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516529307507668142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-43498182242533092762007-08-05T22:11:00.000-07:002007-08-05T22:11:00.000-07:00I love the not-yarn!
