What’s on the wheel?  Another spring mix with purples, white, gray, light green & accents of burgundy red.

What’s on the wheel today? A pretty pastel combo of hand-dyed wool along with accents of undyed, curly wool locks.  …I’m thinking - SPRING! :) 

Ever wanted to try spinning? A top whorl drop spindle is a great way to start! …and just remember, practice - practice - practice! ;) This fun, “doilies” inspired spindle, is handmade by KristenLeClair.

All natural, undyed alpaca fiber, handspun by Fiesta Cat Yarn Co.! Check out more of the beautiful handspun yarns at: fiestacatyarn.com Handspun yarn creates unique, truly one of a kind projects! :)

Modeling a hat I knit today with my own handspun alpaca yarn! This blend of gray/black is undyed & all natural! Alpaca is one of my all time favorite fibers!! So soft! :)

Modeling my latest hand-knit hat - a variation on the “Wurm” pattern from Ravelry.  This was a fun, quick & easy project & I would definitely make another, maybe just a little longer….I tend to get impatient at the end & finish em too soon.  Hehe. Not bad though ;)

Hand-knit hat I whipped up in one afternoon. A variation on the “Wurm” pattern on Ravelry.

Handspun art yarn that I spun while giving a demo at last Friday’s “Portlandia” art show opening at Splendorporium.  This yarn actually contains 6+ different types of fiber, including some of my own hand-dyed colors as well as sparkly add-ins & some tulle accents!

This looks like a fun hat pattern (free from katushika on Ravelry) - great for all levels of knitters! Knitting in the round is simple once you try it & if you can knit & purl, that’s all there is to this hat!  Think I might whip one of these out this afternoon!! :)

My set-up at the “Portlandia” art show opening last Friday at Splendorporium.  Had a great time & love to share my creative process for hand-spinning yarn! :) Thanks again to Splendorporium for having me!!
