I Learned to Spin Yarn!!!!!!

I did the very thing I said I would never do...learn to spin yarn. When I got 4 oz. of Romney sheep fiber from Hawaii, I was resolved to at least try spinning so I could spin it up to make something for myself. I absolutely LOVE spinning!!!!!! I went to Upstairs Studio in LaPorte, Texas to spend a day learning how to spin last Saturday. Upstairs Studio is an AWESOME yarn shop that also carries beautiful fiber :D I started with a drop spindle (LOVE IT), then quickly moved to a wheel. There is something very liberating and cool to be able to spin fiber into yarn. A spinning wheel is definitely in my future although I will continue to use my drop spindle too (very portable). Don't get me wrong, I will still buy yarn, but I will really have to want it to make something specific. Now I am building my fiber stash ;)
