With Spring Break here, I was finally able to get up to Hood River and visit Foothills Yarn & Fiber for the lesson that came with my spinning wheel.
Wool.
My first skein.
I made yarn!
After setting the twist.
Ready to knit.
Stitches.
Swatch.
An apron for Audrey.

Wow! It's... real... yarn! I can easily imagine how spinning could become addictive, with the easy repetitive motion and the whirring sound.
Harriet - it IS a very soothing occupation. I thought knitting was magical, turning yarn into clothes or toys, but starting with just wool and then getting that final end result, now that's truly magic.
very cool. and such a gorgeous blue.
you now need a pet alpaca.
Maryanne, that's exactly what I said when I got the wheel for Christmas - told my parents that next year they'd have to get me an alpaca to keep in the backyard!
