In the end I got in such a twisted mess I had to give it up! You're far more competent than me!

Such fine and even spinning. <br /><br />I know what you mean about embracing imperfection. I love that about handspun, it has something that commercial yarn doesn't have, - heart and soul, and more like every living being - ever so slightly 'flawed'. Love your work, and your photography!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020864103713886930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5789839.post-17403266877370937722010-04-06T15:19:06.596-04:002010-04-06T15:19:06.596-04:00I am seriously in lust with that angora/silk yarn....I am seriously in lust with that angora/silk yarn.
