Handspun Yarn

A few days ago I made some new
handspun yarn for the shop.
All the yarns are made from 100% Merino Wool,
and weight 100 grams.

I love the colour range in all the yarns,
I think there pretty for making
some nice accessories :)

All the handspun yarn are made from soft wool.
It's a mixture of colours.
The colours change as the plying is done 2 or 3 colours.
There are some thicker and thinner parts in it,
to give it its lovely whimsical and authentic handspun look.

Spinning in the sun

I made a little video from my spinning wheel.
And this is how it looks spinning on it :)
The spinning wheel is an old one and its a bit wobbly,
  the sound it makes is a bit loud,
but hey my children fall asleep at the sound of it ;)
Spinning in the sun with my kids in the background playing with water. 
Material for spinning is a beautiful seacell fiber mixed with blue faced Leicester,
I dyed the wool myself on the handwerkbeurs in Zwolle (handcraft fair)
see this link.
And the wool and seacell together I'm gonna ply it with pink silk ♡ ♡ ♡
