Remember that bag of fleece I washed the other day...

This one....



Now it looks like this.....



and this...

I've just spun my first whole fleece!

Now what to do with all that yarn....

It averages at 90m per skein (approximately 720 meters)
and 9 wpi - Worsted weight.

I'm surprise at how soft it is I always thought of handspun yarn as itchy and rough.
This certainly isn't, it really bloomed out when washed.
Very fluffy, or is the right term lots of loft.
