My First Spinning Project


I took a class in at the A Mano Yarn Center past Sunday. The instructor John was a super nice and articulated teacher, who was able to explain the process so clear enough that I can suceesfully spinned my first yarn! 

I am very happy with the resut, even though they are all uneven (over-spinning?). I'm glad that I develop a 'closer' relationship with fiber through working with roving. They always looks like a mystery to me, and now I know how to 'draw' them off gracefully and easily without struggling. 

Here's how the yarn looks like on the spindle. 


And now, I'm making it into something. This is what John had suggested, and I agree with that too -- the first time is always memorable (no matter how the quality is like!!) 

I'm turing it into something.
