My First Handspun and Wheel!!!!

I finished my first handspun yarn! I am so proud :). I spun up the 4 oz. of Romney that I got in Hawaii on my drop spindle. I did a 2-ply and set the twist. It took 2.5 hours to ply this yarn on a drop spindle. I repeat 2.5 HOURS. Of course I was watching Twilight while I did it so it was not horrible, but still my arms were killing me by the time I finished.

This yarn will become a pretty bag for my new SPINNING WHEEL that my sweetie just got me for an Wedding Anniversary/Christmas present :). My spinning wheel's name is Minerva after the Roman goddess of wisdom and arts/crafts. I thought it fit nicely.




My spinning is coming along, but I still have a lot to learn. Of course my yarn is still thick and thin, but it is getting better ;). I LOVE spinning!
