My first attempt at hand spun yarn



I just got my ladybug. I love spinning. It is so much fun. It is very relaxing. I think because the possibilities are endless as far as what kind of fiber you want to create. My eyes are open to a whole new world of things I can make. I am thinking I want to try making lots of interesting yarns I have seen out on the Internet.
I brought my ladybug into a LYS last Sunday to see if what I was spinning was correct. I ended up staying from 1-5pm and learning how to ply the yarn together. Arleen at Fiber works showed me how to make my strands thinner and how to ply. She is planning on teaching a class on making yarns with add ons. I am very interested on making yarn with sparkles and extras spun and plied into it.
