Still haven’t found a dedicated handspinning community, but I’m hoping this will tempt some of y’all to the dark side 😉

I spun this last year, but haven’t yet found a project worthy of it (open to suggestions!). Fiber is Merino wool, colorway is Tie Dyed Popsicles by the Wooly Witch, spun on my Babe’s Fiber Starter wheel. It’s about 15-16 WPI, so roughly a light fingering weight, and 170g. Planning to leave it a single since plying it might muddy those glorious, glorious colors, and that would be a travesty! 😍

Still a fairly new spinner, all things considered, and mostly self-taught, so I’m open to any constructive criticism and willing to answer any questions y’all might have! Thanks for letting me briefly invade your knitting space! 😁

    Hi there - I am still quite newbaz spinning myself. That being said, there is a method zo spin a 3-ply from one single and it would not middy your beautiful colors. It is called navajo plying or chain plying. Have fun with your handspun, it is very well done!
