Yarn & knitting

I started to spin by using a drop spindle, a copy of an old spindle at Estonian Open Air Museum. After spinning one year nearly daily on the drop spindle I got my first spinner in 2007. It was a Louët Victoria S95 spinner that had been recently released. I am still spinning on that but dreaming about a Majacraft Suzie Professional.

A small trial with knitting different yarns made at Syvahavva spinnery, Estonia. I had orded 1 spun yarn, 2 spun yarn and pre spun yarn.

Yarn spun by hand.

One spun, 2 x one spun.
