Spin, spin, spin


My brand n
ew spinning wheel arrived last week, so I've been busy trying to spin some fibre and some plastic. It's great fun and utterly relaxing. I bought a Kromski Sonata and I LOVE it!

The plarn (plastic bag yarn) is turning out really well and is crocheting up great.



The fibre on the other hand will take some time to get used to. I did manage to spin a lovely blend of baby alpaca, silk and cashmere - it is charmingly uneven and I think it will make a lovely piece of coral for the UK Reef.
