My first handspun yarn!!!!
'So I have made my first handspun yarn!!!! It is sure far from being the most even yarn but it is yarn. Yarn. I actually made yarn! I love my Mach II from Spinolution. I don’t think I shared with you all the neat lady who I bought the wheel from. Her studio’s name is Wildharefiber. She has a neat studio in which she sells roving, local wool, handspun yarn, for those who don’t spin, Spinolution wheels and spindles and also many other fiber related things.
My first skein was made from little samples I received from bee mice elf who just recently had a baby so is taking a break right now. I have already misplaced this skein but do have a picture to share. It is thick and thin for sure! lol
My second skein is huge! I got the fiber from wildharefiber. It is also very thick and thin. I believe I have 70 yards. I already have a pattern I want to make with this.
My third skein’s fiber is also from wildharefiber. I forgot the color way it is just wool top I believe.
I have lot''s of practice ahead of me but I hope to be able to spin fingering weight yarn so I can make socks with my own handspun. Next post I will share my first pair of socks I knit. Thanks for looking!

I really like the texture and colours you chose. I bet those squishy soft looking thick and thin yarns would make excellent hats!

Wow, they all look great! I'm especially fond of the second yarn. The color combo is awesome. You should be so proud to have made your own yarn. I can't even dream of doing it myself!
