While I was in England earlier this year, My cousin-in-law introduced me to the spinning wheel.

I was hooked immediately and now spend most evenings sat at my own wheel.
Most of the time I find it immensely satisfying,

There are of course times that are so frustating when I am unable to control the consistency of the yarn that I wonder if I will ever get that hang of it.

I enjoy the whole process of spinning. From sorting and cleaning the raw fleece, to carding and spinning it.

I was fortunate enought to be given some raw alpaca fiber as well as sheeps wool to work on.

So far I have made a couple of bags that I felted and also a needle felted doll.
