YARN! First yarn spun on the spinning wheel (the wheel makes me smile... lots of alterations from its original with a bungee strap scotch brake... kind of like 1800's meets MacGyver....)-- it's a bit of alpaca that I had received from the incredibly creative woman that taught me to use a drop spindle. I had thanked her for the alpaca fiber and told her she really didn't need to-- to which she replied that what she was doing is similar to what a crack dealer does.... start you off with enough to get you hooked....
Seems like it's worked... I now am on the "oooh... can I spin that?" kick. Prime example: we watched Amazing Race the other night.... I was told that we couldn't have a yak within city limits. Someday I tell you... someday...

Whoopee! You are now on the slippery slope of fiber addiction! Your yarn looks beautiful, too!

Thanks. I'm excited to start spinning what I get from the bunnies soon-- too bad there's this thing called 'work' that eats up a lot of my time for spinning.....
Samantha! Love your first yarn! It does feel good! It is like crack!!! Enjoy it! Love the blog, made me chuckle!
