Here's my only handspun to date! I have a spindle, I even have some fiber, but I don't have the time, space, or real desire to spin at this time of my life. HOWEVER, I love seeing everyone else spin, their handspun and I cannot wait to go to SAFF in October, and see all that live fiber!
So, it's ok, you can laugh!! I do!
I think they call it overspun, extraspun, humongous spun! ;)
The roving is from Heelside Farms in NC a Romney- lincon cross I think! It came with the spindle. I think they'll be at SAFF too! They were at MSW.
On another note...um..had to go back to the fabric store today.....
OOOPS! Not good when you have at least 4 more needlecases to sew in that colorway! Yay for thread at 50% off this week too! They are coming....very soon! ;)

You're flying through the thread!
Glas to know I'm not alone on the spinning. I'd rather just have the handspun yarn! But it will be fun to see it all at SAFF.
We're going to have to get you an industrial sewing machine pretty soon!
Your handspun is cute!
Heheheheheheh. Yes. That would be OVERspun. It what I was producing when I very first tried out a wheel. Not at all uncommon. heh.
OK, this may be embarrassing... but I kind of like it! It looks pettable.
Yep, a bit overspun. My first handspun looked a lot like that.
my handspun look a bit like that too :).
I think you better buy some thread stock for your portfolio :)
That is so nice!
See think it looks kind of cute spun that much!
that handspun looks like pony tails! I feel you on the thread situation sister!
I know what you mean about enjoying others spinning but not really wanting to do it yourself. Everyonce in a while I am tempted to try my daughters spindle, but I just don't have time for another hobbie right now. It will have to wait for a quieter time in my life.
I think everyone's first handspun looks like that. I'm sure mine will! I haven't tried yet, though.
By the way, what was the URL of the site that your undyed yarn came from, again? I think I'm going to look into ordering more from them!
Your handspun looks like lambs-pride! Very nice. - zuma
