Fairly quickly, she'd produced two bobbins of yarn ....
....that she then plied together to produce her first ever skein of handspun yarn! Tah dah!!
I can see a new, addictive hobby developing here! Another stash for Snoops to acquire! It was great fun and I look forward to days spent spinning together!
I received another squishy parcel too - this time from Rosie's Moments. The parcel arrived beautifully wrapped, it was just like opening a present!
As well as the collection of mini skeins for my sock yarn blankie, I bought two braids of BFL, dyed with natural dyes. I loved the colour combinations she used, and want to spin it up to knit myself a Citron shawl. Don't you just love these colours?
Rosie included a lovely sheep button in the parcel, what a nice touch!
I shall definitely be popping back to her Etsy shop again!
Before I go, I must just tell you about a wonderful giveaway on my Ravelry friend, Melissa's blog. If you make a donation to help fight cancer, you'll be entered into a draw to win not one, not two, but three skeins of Malabrigo yarn! How fantastic is that? Not only are you doing something worthwhile, but you might win some yarn too! See you soon! xxx

Like the sheep button x Spinning looks a lot of fun.
What?! Another fiber lover AND cancer fighter? Too cool! Thanks for the link to her blog (giveaway or not!)
Also, I wish I had a local friend who knew how to spin. Then again, I probably don't need another hobby.
Thanks for a fab day! We could spend a whole week catching up and still not 'say it all'! ;-) Mr Snoops was most impressed! xxRos
I have not spun since I was a child, I went to a rural school and all of the girls got taught to spin. We were taught to spin and then dye the wool and then knit the finished product. Its on my list of things to do when I retire, to start spinning again.
yay for snoops! and yay for you too for being the instructor!
that sheep button is too adorable, and thank you thank you for the shout out about the cancer hating - i so appreciate your support!
I had two full days at spinning class and didn't even get round to plying the yarn together (if that's the correct expression) to make usable wool. If only I lived next door to you I'd be as accomplished as Snoops. Nice parcel.
How nice to know you found a new spinning pal! Enjoy your free time!
Yours, Julia
