Handspun Yarn Gallery

I had a meeting that went on until 11 last night; then I came home and couldn’t sleep.

So, I slept in, the 3Ts made me breakfast (without me asking!), and then I got up and took a bunch of pictures. It’s been a good morning!

I’ve been spinning for about five years now. Spinning led to dyeing. I’ve done a lot of both. I’ve done so much that I’ve taken to teaching dyeing classes (upcoming class on 4/21–join me, it’ll be fun!).

For a taste of my taste in handspun, handdyed yarns, check out the “Handspun Yarn Gallery” at the top of the sidebar (to the right of this column). It’s just a sample of the dozens of skeins in big boxes in my fiber room (and the living room, and sometimes the bedroom). I’ve literally spun 20+ lbs of fiber and most of it’s in bags and boxes. Perhaps I need a “completed bar” for the handspun projects I should be working on.

Make sure you scroll down to the last picture. It has the companions to the skein in this post. That’s where the picture of My Favorite Skein is. Check it out!
