Second attempt at spinning yarn went better than the first. Still struggling with consistency, but I imagine that'll be the case for a while.

First bit of hand spun yarn. The challenges:
-Consistency in thread size
-Spinning the spindle by hand because it doesn't seem to want to go in the right direction for more than a millisecond
I'm enjoying the learning process. 🧶

Had an EXTREMELY exciting morning attending my first fiber festival. Now I have a drop spindle and some Rambouillet sheep and angora rabbit wool/fur to start learning to spin my own yarn.

A braid of fibre for spinning, in shades of blue, purple and grey.
A roll of mixed fibres in blues, greens and purple. This is for spinning yarn and is called an art batt.
Fibre for spinning yarn in shades of green and teal with flashes of black and white.
Skeins of green and yellow 4ply knitting yarn.
I had a lovely time at Unravel yarn festival in Farnham at the weekend with my friend Dawn. I enhanced my yarn and fibre stashes, which wasn't technically necessary but it is all very lovely 🧶 #knitting #yarnspinning #knitters #yarnspinners 1/2

The only way I will get better is to practice. I can’t wait for the day it is easy! At least it didn’t get tied up on itself this time. Pre-drafting definitely helped a lot.

A clothes airer with 8 hanks of yarn hanging to dry after being washed.
Turns out having a spinning wheel means you can make yarn faster, who knew? 🤷♀️🧶 #yarnspinning

I've been told I don't share this information enough. But I do have a youtube channel where I discuss my fibre art projects. This year I'm doing vlogmas for the first time and if that sounds like your thing at all. I'd love it if you checked my channel out.

My ADHD is finally letting me work on the yarn spinning projects that are starting to get backed up.
That’s what happens when you get the wool for said projects and lack the motivation to actually do them. 😅

Spun yarn on the bobbin, the undercoat fiber, and the contributors. 😁
I give them their primary brushing, then I use my carders for a great de-fuzz and shiny coats.
