I have a family of non-knitters. They do not understand why I would hand spin my own yarn. When I use my drop spindle and spin the soft wool rovings into yarn, I experience a great sense of accomplishment and pride in my creation. I learned how to use a drop spindle when I took the Learn to Drop spindle class at Lettuce Knit last month. Spinster, Laura was our instructor for two 2 hour sessions. My first skein is from Fleece Artist roving and I have a generous 17 yards of super chunky! Any ideas what I can do with it?

Hey Diane, great blog!
The colours look as though they'd mix really well felted - how about a felted bowl (from One Skein)?
You can love it, pet it and call it George! It really is lovely. My first skein is still unknitted and may stay that way. I like the feel and the look of it in it's current state.
