Handspun - Bluebirds

Originally uploaded by there’s a b

I did some spinning this past week.

To be fair, I took a class from John Pitblado at A Mano Yarn in mid-October, and it was wonderful. I learned so much in just a few hours, and became infinitely more comfortable using my spinning wheel instead of a drop spindle.

I’m calling these skeins “Bluebirds” since it’s Bird of Paradise plied with indigo roving. I had extra Bird of Paradise left over, so I navajo plied it and got a wee little skein. It’s all quite beautiful.. can’t decide what to make with it, but it’ll probably turn into a Christmas gift for someone.
