I've been spinning for about 10 years and thoroughly enjoy it. For me, the act of the fibers passing through my fingers and onto the bobbin is hypnotic and meditative. And the yarn thus produced is the absolute best for a fiber artisan to work with. There's something about knitting with your own handspun that defies description.

I'm showing here just some of the skeins I've spun which have happened to win ribbons at our local county fair. And to answer the question "What can you make with handspun yarn?" I've pictured some of the things I've made. Scattered throughout my albums are other items I've made from handspun, if you'd like to take a look.
