Today’s work-in-progress Wednesday post is all about spinning!
February may be the shortest month of the year, but my wheel is getting a pretty good work out. Yesterday, in particular. I’ve been spinning up the lovely fiber from Rosa and Tina and two never before spun fibres from Spunky Eclectic and Northbound Knitting. It is a fun month with what is looking to be lots of really great new yarns to add to my stash. This photo is just a little teaser and I will let you know more in my February Hanspun post a little later on 
I’m enjoying the 13 Lbs In 2013 challenge just as much as I did the 12 Lbs in 2012. Some people have asked if I get bored of all the spinning and my answer is always a huge, resounding “Nope!” There are so many different kinds of wool to try and so many amazing indie dyers to tempt me that there is always fresh challenge and inspiration.
Are you working toward any goals in 2013? How are they going? I’d love to hear all about it!
I’ve been following your blog for a while since I just started spinning and I love all the yarns you have made!
Just wondering what kind of wheel you have and how long you’ve been spinning? I want to become this good!
Thank you San! I’ve been spinning for six years now (I started out on a spindle) and about 3 years ago I bought an Ashford Kiwi. It is a great little wheel and suits my needs perfectly.
Best of luck with your spinning!
Thank you! I’ve borrowed a Louet S10 and am asking anyone I know what they like. Eventually I will have enough info and get my own wheel. Just saving big time first…
Beautiful! I am loving the look of the bluey green at the back there :O)
your spinning is so inspiring
Thank you Alice! The blue/green fiber was the January club shipment from Spunky Eclectic and such a fun spin.
I really like the one with the orange. How long does it take to spin enough to knit something.
It doesn’t take too long at all. Especially when I’m spinning singles for shawls. I usually go through 4oz of fiber in a couple of hours.
Ahhh, I love them all, especially the reddish one… I never counted how much I spin, but having a tendency to spin all that thin yarn, and having a lot less time I would like to, I doubt I would come anywhere near that weight…
Your yarns are so beautiful! I wish that I could master lace spinning like you have! Hopefully some day
Such gorgeous fiber and I’m so tickled you’ve been enjoying the alpaca, it looks yummy!
It is yummy! The alpaca is buttery soft and a real delight to spin.
I actually decided to do the 13 lbs in 2013 because of reading your blog! I’m really into spinning right now (more than knitting, at the moment) and am having fun picking through my fibre stash and deciding what to spin next.
Congrats Julianna on taking the plunge! I took a look around your blog and your handspun is lovely! I look forward to seeing your fibery updates
