SHE'S DONE! Finished my latest handspun lace scarf 💛
Please forgive the ridiculous number of photos here, but I can't believe I spun this. It's the best yarn I've ever made
My TdF spin: a (hopefully!) perfect gradient yarn! 790 yards, 11.9 grams. Only time will tell if I hit the mark once it's knitted up, but I am thrilled with the initial skein :)
Absolute score at Goodwill!
I finished another spin of "Garashir" 🖖
My handspun Shetland Traveler Hoodie
Lace weight Comfort Me With Apples
I made my own wheel!
Another Scrappy sock bundle done! 🤩😍
First garment with handspun
