Still haven’t found a dedicated handspinning community, but I’m hoping this will tempt some of y’all to the dark side 😉

I spun this last year, but haven’t yet found a project worthy of it (open to suggestions!). Fiber is Merino wool, colorway is Tie Dyed Popsicles by the Wooly Witch, spun on my Babe’s Fiber Starter wheel. It’s about 15-16 WPI, so roughly a light fingering weight, and 170g. Planning to leave it a single since plying it might muddy those glorious, glorious colors, and that would be a travesty! 😍

Still a fairly new spinner, all things considered, and mostly self-taught, so I’m open to any constructive criticism and willing to answer any questions y’all might have! Thanks for letting me briefly invade your knitting space! 😁

    I mainly buy dyed top roving, so I don’t actually do any of the carding myself. I really want a blending board to make my own blends, but life keeps getting in the way. Maybe someday…

    I know a lot of spinners actually prefer spindle spinning to wheel spinning! Personally, I went through quite a few different kinds of spindles before deciding I wanted a wheel, but I have a close friend who prefers the more precise control of spindle spinning
