Handspinning

Last week I was on a handspinning course at the Hilltop Spinning and Weaving Centre. I have met a very nice and helpful couple, who did teach me how to use the spinning wheel, who to carding, dyeing and everything what I could use at handspinning. This is my first own-made handspinned yarn:


I am pleased with my first yarn and very happy to meet Sue and Bill. I am sure that we will keep in touch in the future. Pleased to refer their online shop which has a lot of exciting features regarding spinning, weaving and dyeing. We have bought my first spinning wheel an Ashford Kiwi, a big box of fleeces, and I am hoping to make lot of nice yarn in the future with it.
