It's a learning curve to be sure. This yarn was made entirely on the new wheel. Oh, did I forget to mention? I have a spinning wheel, a birthday present in January. Here it is, the end of March and I finally got up the gumption to spin yarn on it.
More on the wheel some other time, when I have a chance to photograph it and get into all the details. For now I will just show you the first completed yarn on it. This is Hello Yarn Thrive. I love the colors. It's cheerful and makes me want sunny days and blue skies.
As with all the spinning, there's alot to learn and in this case, the plying needs practice. I found out yesterday the unintentional method I achieved was spiral plying. Which is okay, but not what I really wanted! I love this yarn anyway and someday it will be a hat.
It's a busy time round here, so little blogging of late. Back to you all later...

Love the colors too. Very spring-like. Great job!
Lovely colors! It will make a very cheerful hat.
Seriously awesome!
I think you're doing a fantastic job! Can't wait to see the hat!
Looks good just the way it is.
It's incredible. I haven't even picked up my spindle since that day at Sarah's. Okay, you know I have other projects, but what you are doing is drop dead gorgeous.
Luscious colors.
Damn girl, you've got all the beauty of the loveliest sea slugs in them there fibers. Sigh.
