I am a beginner spinner - learning everything from fantastic people on youtube and here. Including how to ply. My latest adventure is Navajo plying. If I was better at maintaining a constant thread diameter (am I in stage 2 of four?) I am sure my plying would look better. I understand that I need more...

Now I do more dying and knitting than anything else, but I bought some dyed fiber at Stitches West a couple weeks ago, every bit of that is spun up, and I am...

Well, I hope this isn't too big a chunk to bite off for one post, but I finally did my first spinning yesterday! I first split my pound of Corriedale Cross roving into 2 halves, putting one half into a bag where the cats wouldn't make a bed out of it. I continued splitting the 2nd half -- which...
