Some Spinning......finally!

At last I have found some time to sit down and concentrate on some spinning. Its only when I actually get some serious spinning time in that I realise just how much I miss it when I'm not doing it!

I had a beautiful batt of peacock blue fibre mixed with black, purple and sparkly that I have been looking at longingly since I bought it - and when I started spinning it I was delighted with the effect  I was seeing on my bobbin. Sometimes you lose a lot of the vibrancy of the colours, but this one was spinning up beautifully.

                           

The finished item is just lovely. I don't profess to be an expert spinner and my yarns are not always 100 percent even, but I personally love the slight variations in the texture of hand spun yarns. Especially mine! This one is waiting to be washed and will then go onto the website for sale, I am sure it will make a really pretty something!

                                 

I am now spinning up a batt of rainbow colour merino and hoping I'm as pleased with this one as I am with the peacock sparkle.

Happy knitting (spinning, crocheting or whatever you are crafting at today)
