#or even... grow flax for the processing nightmare that is making linen

So... I finally took a drop spindle spinning class after going back and forth about it for weeks.

The white yarn's what I spun in class. It's pretty lumpy, but it's got personality. I had a bunch of wool left over, so of course it got dyed a fun color the second I got home. In the meantime I watched a ton of spinning videos, which seemed to magically enable me to spin a finer yarn on my second attempt. Watching other people work really makes things click into place!

Here they are freshly plied! The difference between them is wild (to me). I have no idea what to use them for, but that probably won't stop me from making more.
