Learning Something New

September 25th, 2007 Leave a comment Go to comments

Every once in a while you need to learn something new. Here’s what I made on a hand spindle on Saturday.

First handmade yarn

Kind teachers refer to this first effort as “novelty” yarn. It’s uneven and a bit lumpy but it holds together and is balanced with neither an s-curve or a z-curve.

I’ve made a second length that’s more even (but less balanced).  Using a drop spindle is oddly calming and not nearly as frustrating as I thought.
