Broadening My Creativity

So, remember when I promised that I would show off my scarf when it was done and well here it is.



I'm also working on a somewhat matching hat but I've been sidetrack by an all new creative hobby. Remember when I metioned what I wanted for my b-day. Well, I took the leap. I bought a spinning wheel.

It's a Kromski Sonata. It's a foldable, portable spinning wheel and it comes with a backpack like bag for carrying and storage. Since I made this purchase I've been spinning like a madwoman. Let me telling you, once you start it becomes addictive very quickly. Especially when you can become creative and produce so much beautiful fiber. This wheel is pretty small which works well for my small space. I just found outh that they have this other wheel called a pocket wheel that is even smaller than this one.

So far I've gone from this:

To this (dyed using Rit):



To finally this (I actually dyed the fiber myself using an acid dye):

I still have to work on producing a consistent yarn, but I think I've gotten so much better over the last 4 weeks. Don't be surprised if you see a lot of yarn on here. I already have more fiber on the wheel. lolololol

Until Later, Happy Crafting!
