Handspun yarn: Merino, bamboo and nylon (60/30/10)

About an hour ago, I used some of this lovely roving that I’d purchased from Cloverhill Yarn Shop, for spinning.

Gorgeous Roving: Superwash merino, bamboo and silk

Aren’t the colors gorgeous?

Wrapping handspun yarn around my Niddy Noddy

I must say that I’m thrilled. Why? This is the first yarn that I’ve spun that has no loose twist that broke (in some places) when I wrapped it around my Niddy Noddy. This means, that I did not have any unspun areas, hooray!

Thus far, this is the best handspun yarn I’ve created!

Thus far, this the best handspun yarn that I’ve created! There’s still a little overspinning. The underspinning did not come until the last two feet. This handspun yarn would make delightful socks or a lovely cowl… if I had enough.

For some reason, I see this yarn with beads. Hmm… I’m still a newbie though, so I think I’m getting ahead of myself. 😉
