Yippee!! My first post.

A new blog to post about a new skill I learned this weekend. How fitting! This past weekend, I took a drop spindle class at London Wul. It was the most amazing experience to be able to create my own yarn from fibers.

We learned to spin some carded and some combed fibers using a high whorl spindle. I was so excited to bring home all the goodies I got in this class:

• the tiny ball of 2 ply yarn I created
• my new ashford drop spindle
• some combed polwarth
• some carded jacob(?)
• my drop spindle 101 workbook

And I enjoyed the class so much that I bought myself 1/4 lb of Hand Dyed Polwarth. I can't wait to start spinning it!
