Your yarn still turned out beautifully, though, and I'm looking forward to seeing the next batch of fiber when you start working with it!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296206001598909796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145849516288526306.post-21050192590124631942012-03-18T11:38:19.494-04:002012-03-18T11:38:19.494-04:00There is something so comforting about subtle, mut...There is something so comforting about subtle, muted shades like you achieved in these handspuns ... lovely work!Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741932078378446322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145849516288526306.post-8187461868736631952012-03-18T11:07:56.702-04:002012-03-18T11:07:56.702-04:00Despite the frustration, it turned out beautifully...Despite the frustration, it turned out beautifully.

It was really long stapled and silky but I just couldn't seem to get a feel for it. Experiments are a good thing - hope you have more fun on your next spin.
