DS has now decided he wants the red/green/yellow yarn for a bag for his cars, so I'll have to find another sock bag!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09538476687444110131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712689161997153021.post-85309286432826051872007-05-25T22:19:00.000+01:002007-05-25T22:19:00.000+01:00hi linda, does that mean you are not gonna do a th...hi linda, does that mean you are not gonna do a throw with all that stuff from hip knits then??<BR/>mind you i like all of your suggestions of what you are going to make and i cant wait to see your dyed products.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712689161997153021.post-16391303244065949622007-05-23T13:24:00.000+01:002007-05-23T13:24:00.000+01:00What a gorgous haul.

I think my main problem was that I wasn't wrapping my yarn around the whorl at the bottom, so the spindle wasn't spinning properly. BUT, I didn't realise what I was doing wrong until I was at home later that evening! Oh well. *rolls eyes* Maybe I'll try and see if there's a spinning class locally and try again. :0)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09538476687444110131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712689161997153021.post-85166962717162884722007-05-21T12:50:00.000+01:002007-05-21T12:50:00.000+01:00Don't give up on the spinning yet!

If you were using a raw fleece that might explain why you didn't really like it - I encourage you to try with a different type of fibre, like some dyed roving, and see if that suits you better :-) lots of people don't enjoy spinning straight from the sheep.<BR/><BR/>I resisted the dyeing kits but caved on the way home and booked a lesson with a friend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
