Still haven’t found a dedicated handspinning community, but I’m hoping this will tempt some of y’all to the dark side 😉

I spun this last year, but haven’t yet found a project worthy of it (open to suggestions!). Fiber is Merino wool, colorway is Tie Dyed Popsicles by the Wooly Witch, spun on my Babe’s Fiber Starter wheel. It’s about 15-16 WPI, so roughly a light fingering weight, and 170g. Planning to leave it a single since plying it might muddy those glorious, glorious colors, and that would be a travesty! 😍

Still a fairly new spinner, all things considered, and mostly self-taught, so I’m open to any constructive criticism and willing to answer any questions y’all might have! Thanks for letting me briefly invade your knitting space! 😁

    Wow this is stunning! Can totally see why you’d struggle to knit it up, maybe you should just keep it forever, perhaps prominently displayed on a pegboard arrangement of some kind that future visitors to your home can be impressed by🤔

      Highly tempting, but I already worked entirely too hard on it to not turn it into something I can brag about excessively and at length 🤣
