Its been a strange week being at home again but it has given me the chance to concentrate on the spinning wheel,

Thank you to everyone who has given encouragement on my spinning attempts and have a good weekend.

Love that pink and purple spin you did. Looks like you've been having fun!

Sounds like a productive week! I seriously love your yarns - particularly the second one - just my colours! Any plans what you'll make with them? I find art yarns intriguing - they look so wonderful but I wouldn't have a clue what to use them for! Perhaps I need to be a bit more adventurous with my spinning and crocheting... :)
PS
Lovely photies too!

Hi, I'm interested in learning to spin as well, I'm hoping to get a drop spindle in the summer and sit outside in the sun having a go! Love your yellow flowers, I bet they smell gorgeous!! Have a lovely weekend, Carolyn

Lovely spinning. I would probably use the rings as a resist in some dyeing or get really messy printing with them. Must be lots of possibilities including decorative. Wrap them? weave through them?
