My first ever skein


Yesterday was day two of my fibrecraft class where I am learning to spin, and this is what I brought home with me,my first skein of wool !!
I am really pleased with it, and with finally finding a skill which comes naturally to me :)
I am learning to spin on an Ashford traditional wool, which is gorgeous and easy to use, unfortunatly the cost around £280  !!!
Off to convince John that I NEED one for an early christmas present :)

  1. Wow, what fab wool!
    And how great are you, getting to grips with it so quickly. I was lucky enough to be given a wheel by DH as an early christmas present but still trying to get my head round it. Mind you I need to divert a little time away from my current craftings.
    Lovely to have come across your blog, will bookmark to see how you get on ;-)
