My first skein of handspun!!!First I split my single ply onto 2 drop spindles

Then I place them onto my hi-tech lazy kate

When I had plyed it I wound it into a skein

Once I had washed and dried it to set the twist....Voila:

It is an undyed suffolk fleece which I bought raw and washed and carded myself. It has produced a 2 ply aran weight, but I hope to learn to spin a finer yarn with my drop spindle next time.

I have already replied over on Angel Yarns but that is fab for a first yarn! Did you get my package by the way?

Yes, I posted piccies of it on the AY site. Where did you get the wensleydale roving? - I am assuming you dyed it yourself? It is georgous!!

Hi CLaire,
That is much better than my first attempt  I too find it very difficult to spin fine but I am getting "finer" if you know what I mean

Wow, Claire, that's fantastic! I haven't got round to actually plying anything yet 
Love your lazy kate - I might just have to nick that idea!
