Spinning for Joy
I enjoy hand-spun yarn. I appreciate the creativity that goes into making it. I like the "hand" part of hand-spun -- the thought that hands have made it, not a machine in a factory somewhere far away. Some part of the maker is in the yarn. There was planning and anticipation and a little spark of creativity. Below is a photo of my latest spinning. I don't know if the colors will show up -- there is green and a bit of orange in the yarn. I've plyed one strand of Gold Mine mixed Corriedale with a strand of Patina Merino. Love the color.
