Spindle Spun

Handspun camel/silk (by Nancy Walsh)

After a class with Amelia from the Bellwether, I am much more confident in my spindle spinning. I took my spindle along with me to the fireworks on the 4th of July to pass the time while waiting for it to get dark.

I couldn’t wait to ply it, so I plied it on my Lendrum yesterday at my group’s spin-in. A quick wash in the sink and this is 40 yards of camel/silk. Here is a an up close shot with a dime to show you size (it’s lace weight) :
