Pictured above the top of my new Fidelis wheel in action as I draft and spin a wool blend, merino bfl and some other wool. This roving that you see bits of as I'm spinning was hand dyed by a lovely lady in my karma swap on Ravelry.
Here is my FIRST and second singles ever. The first is the cream, it's the practice roving that came with my wheel and spindle pictured below. I spun a bit on the spindle, most on the wheel. It's mostly white with streaks of brown wool, nice and soft, long fibers though so it was easy to spin. The green on the right was the blend my fellow Karma Swapper sent to me just because! It looks like camoflauge. It too is super soft!
My signed #4 Limited Edition Meggie supported Spindle, what started it all for me with Jan at ford4him on Etsy.
My first handspun. I spun the singles and then plyed them together. It's thicker than I was aiming for but who cares, it's my first one ever and it actually looks like yarn!

I am proud of you - your first yarn is beautiful! I have always wanted to learn to spin. I am still enjoying my wonderful tote bag - I took it to Dallas last week and was the most stylish girl in town!
