He had me at first spin ~

June 5th, 2008 by Sarah

I’m as surprised as you are. Really thought I would work on the spindle for a while - truly I did. Meet Louie (you know I’ve named pusrses, what wouldn’t I name my wheel?Now I just have to decide what color to paint him…).

First yarn (everything from uber cobweb weight to practically a broomstick size - ought to make for a pretty funky something or other). Merino superwash roving from Vesper. I’ve already ordered roving from Gherkin - no way I’m going to run out of fiber. Got to keep the wheel spinning.

Don’t forget to enter the anniversary contest from yesterday. What a treat it is to read everyone’s comments - you guys have been busy!

S.O.S to All You Spinners ~

March 9th, 2007 by Sarah

I know I said I wanted to learn to spin, but this is just silly!

So, a week or so ago I ordered, what I thought was hand spun yarn from Natasha at Luxe on etsy…. well, I was wrong - very, very wrong. Today, I received this in the mail. While it is very lovely, I have no earthly idea what to do with it. HELP.

Do I need:

  • Spindle
  • Wheel
  • Someone to make something out of this for me?
  • How much yarn will this make?

Seriously, my mind is just reeling….

***edited to add*** - This acquisition of spinning fiber is completely my fault - Natasha did nothing but send me some fibery goodness. I can totally see the potential, just don’t know how to get “there”.
