To spin or not to spin...

... that was the question I asked myself for a long time. I wanted to learn it, but when I tried, I didn't manage to get a usable yarn. So a year ago, I gave up... it just didn't work out.

But then, this week... my oldest daughter wanted to show her classmates how she could knit already and her classmates got enthousiastic I think... anyway, her teacher asked me to come to the class next tuesday and show some knitting and wooldyeing. I agreed and thought that I could show them some spinning too, even if I couldn't spin it myself.

The weel got fixed and I tried it again one last time...

You can't imagine how happy I am! It's like I never did something else... the fiber flew through my hands... unbelievable!
It's not perfect, not at all, but I have yarn! With thick and small pieces, but yarn is yarn...
I think I'm going to try again on this... maybe I do can learn how to spin after all!

fijn zo.
Spinnen is een zalige rustgevende bezigheid.
Ik ben nu plukken wol van een merinoschaap aan het spinnen
