Spinning

I was very kindly given a spinning wheel by a friend of mine last year, and this weekend I finally managed to take it out for a spin, so to speak. It was a little tricky at first to get the hang of the pedaling and drafting the wool but I found this video very helpful to get me started.

This is the result! It is a combination of merino and Icelandic wool, slightly over spun in some places and under spun in others but I am quite pleased with it.
