The credit (blame? just kidding.) for my latest distraction must go to the lovely Jennifer of as cozy as spring and her amazing yarn. Years ago I had tried spindle spinning with some beautiful cotton that we had grown, de-seeded and carded. Little did I know then, that cotton (with it's short staple) is a very difficult fiber to learn on. So, after several frustrating attempts, I gave up and put the spindles away.
Then I saw what Jennifer was doing. And after a few encouraging emails from her, I was re-inspired to give it another go, this time with wool. Now our clumsy first attempts are a long way from perfect, but oh this is fun.
So far I haven't had near the time to play with these amazing toys as I would like, but Anna is loving it. She is having a blast and is spinning up a storm.
Thanks, Jenn!
