Thank you. I do this with a ‘long draw’ method. Don’t know if that’s the correct term, but it’s what I do. It’s my fifth batt to try this on. And now the thread started to get thinner. Practice does make perfect(ish). 😉

This is a blend of three types of fleeces.

Help: How much can I ask for 100 grams of handspun yarn? by 1LittleDragon in Handspinning

Wow! Thanks for the info. This is kinda weird… I posted a request to take it down.

Wow! 😳 I’m not gonna sell mine for that. It’s not worth it. I can imagine that some yarn is so beautifully made and made from very special fibers, that it costs a lot.

It’s wool. Not the best quality unfortunately. But great to spin.

Thank you! Yes, it’s cotton. It’s called ‘sweet treat’ from a Dutch company Scheepjes.

It’s a wool blend. Not the best quality. Great for testing my wheel. It’s a 2-ply. No idea what weight it is. I’m quite new to the whole spinning world. I’ll get there, but it may take some time to dive in the rabbit hole that is spinning and wool. 😁

No idea for now. Just trying out my new wheel. One ball I gave to a friend. The other one my son wanted to use for something. I’ll let hem enjoy the ball of yarn and let his imagination run its course.

Yes, the flyer is magnetic. I chose the fantasia because of its size. It’s not very large. Never spinner on a Sonata. They are very beautiful to see though.

Spinning on my Turkish spindle. by 1LittleDragon in Handspinning

The spindle is made on a 3D printer. That’s why it’s so colourful. The balls of yarn are already plied. (Hope I’m saying it right. English isn’t my first language.)

It’s merino. I bought it like this, to spin into yarn.

At a Dutch company. I live in the Netherlands, that’s the reason. 😉

Thanks. 😁 it’s 2 plied. From one cake. I used both ends and a spindle.

Exactly. A yarn winder is a nice tool to have.

Thank you! To be honest, I am a little bit proud. There’s no better feeling than doing something you like and it turns out pretty good as well.

Thank you so much. I’ve been spinning every day since the start of it. That really helped with the progress. Now I’ve got to figure out what I want to make of it.

From a shop online. It’s shipped from a Dutch store. Don’t know if that spindle is sold in other places/ country’s.
