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! 😁

    Thank you for the detail, we’re excited to figure this out so my wife can get started spinning her own fiber.

      Glad I could help! If you’re interested, Worldwide Spin in Public day is the third Saturday in September, so you might check if your LYS is celebrating! They’ll have better suggestions specific to your area and might even have some basic spindles and fiber to get you started!
