My First Spinning Yarn


I made a square using my first yarn I spun.
Colours were random, because we tried using several kinds of fibers as an experimentation.
Some are too much twisted, some are too much thin,
and some wasn't enough carding process.
But I am very proud of what I've done.

Cowl


This yarn was a leftover of a shop.
It was a bargain price, but only one ball was left.
What I used was 'Schachenmayr smc Aventica Elegance (210m)'.
It contains lame, looks gorgeous.
I had looked for a pattern for this, and I finally found it.
I got this pattern from 'Ravelry (need an account)',
but you can also get it from Esther's website;
