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!

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!!
