First skein.

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Spindling: From Fluff to Stuff »

Difficulty:

Category: Spinning

Type of item: Functional

For: Unisex

Style: Mod, Casual


Materials

Blue Faced Leicester Top, Top Whorl Spindle

What was your inspiration?

This whole first skein was a pretty poor attempt at making an even yarn. I was trying to make the top whorl spindle work for me. I just let whatever happened, happen.

What are you most proud of?

I'm proud of the fact that I stuck with the top whorl spindle/short draw technique long enough to make enough yarn to do this little project and then some that I plied into the next project.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Slow down.
