A new adventure in spindle spinning: hand dyed silk hankies! The hankies are from the Fiber Studio in Minneapolis, but purchased at the Shepherd’s Harvest Sheep and Wool Festival earlier this month. I’m planning on plying with Art Yarns Silk Mohair. There is an excellent article on how to spin hankies on knitty.com. Try it, and have fun!

Hankies on the spindle
So I am married to a very intelligent, handsome and generous man who knows me well. He saw how much time I was spending with the spindles and so…he thought it would be a good idea to give me a spinning wheel for my birthday!! Oh, he was so right. 
Below you will see photos of Twyla and the first few skeins to come off her bobbins.
The fiber is from The Fiber Studio in Minneapolis, MN.
YAY! LOVE!
