God, I'm a nerd.

The other day, I was blindsided by the desire to start spinning my own yarn. So today, I went out and purchased a Schacht drop spindle and roving from my local yarn shop.

( my wool is very pretty )

Of course, my first spindle of yarn is not the prettiest thing ever:

( yarn! sort of )

I'm planning on plying the two colors together when they're both spun up.

I totally want a spinning wheel now.
