Handspun Yarns

I learned how to spin at The Yarn Tree with a great teacher, Caroline Byrne, in the summer of 2006. I learned how to spin on a Schacht Hi-Lo Spindle.

Fiber: Peruvian wool (I spun this while learning how to use a spinning wheel. You can see it’s very over-twisted.)

I know this isn’t yarn but I just love my new Golding spindle that I bought at Rhinebeck.
