And of course, I immediately sat down and started spinning. I was so wrapped in it, I think I spun for 5 hours straight. Only stopped briefly to put down some food that Leo heated up for me and went back to it again. The result is this:

I finally got the hang of it and started to spin the thin yarn I am aiming for. It’s not there yet to mke a lace yarn, but I’m pretty happy about it. Peggy from the yarn shop I took the spindle lesson from have this great program where you can rent to own a wheel. And She had this Louet S10 right there at the festival. And she gave me a 5% discount for it being gently used. 🙂 I was sold at the first sight. And I picked up 2 1/2 lb of Border Leicaster brwon roving also from her so I can spin it up and make a sweater for Leo.
My back is achy from sitting in the same position for hours but my spirit is still high and I can’t wait to spin two bobbins and ply it up to compare with my hand spun.
