Behold!
Not too bad for my very first attempt. (I probably should have taken a class so I could have some feedback on things. YouTube isn't the best for that, you know.)
My spindle is pretty light, and I remember reading that lighter spindles make for bulkier yarn, but I can't remember where I read that or if I just made it up...
Anyway, I did an ounce of blue wool and an ounce of orange. The part where they joined looked kind of neat, so I may try spinning (or plying!) two colors together soon.
I'm not sure how much yarn I actually made. I washed it and thwacked it to set the twist, so it is drying now. I'll inspect it after it dries and see what I can learn from it.
Also, I think I need to pre-draft the fibers a little better. I have thick spots where the roving came apart and I joined it back together. But it's a learning process!
I should probably go check out the nearby spinning guild, but they meet every third Saturday, and this month's third Saturday happens to be Chris's birthday, so that's out for a while.
