My first handspun.

Nearly six months after learning to spin, I finally finished the yarn I started at the German Ravelry meeting. I'm still amazed that it is so easy to make your own yarn, now to actually get good at it. Anyway, my first skein is all you would expect from a first attempt: messy, uneven and way too thick. It's a skein only a mother could love and I sure do.

The colors are actually a bit more vibrant in reality.

I've already started online window shopping for more roving and spindles. The second roving is already 1/3rd done and I have one more after that, so no actual buying until those are spun up. Unless I find a really good spindle...
