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.

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!
