new craze/new toy

I must be crazy. Ever since I am back to knitting, seeing spinners spun their own yarn, was eyeing for spindle or wheel years ago. Get the spindle 2 years ago and never managed to spin fine sock / lace yarn .

by End of Feb 2009, craze struck me ...I ordered Majacraft Pioneer wheel from NZ and here my stash craze built up day by day

wheel spun2 : mulled vine blue sock yarn (3 ply)

3ply: 295yds (85gm) 200yds (90gm)

first wheel spun

fixed up the wheel but not managed to spin :P

2ply from spindle spun wool yarn

received this lovely Majacraft Pioneer 26th Feb, assembled and tried until 3am still could not spin a length of yarn, instead full of fiber on the floor

spindle & roving from Multifilla, KL

Sock...sock

The top photo was CO officially 1 Mar 2009, by 14th Mar ripped all and re-CO; ogggg...something wrong again, I ripped all again, start with another lovely yarn (from Wolmeisse, Jumtomte Sock Club yarn #1) on 21 Mar 2009.
