Remember I joined a spinning-course in February? Well, my first attempts were….to be honest: awful! Hahaha! Here we go:
(No, they are not “art yarns” – they are the yarns of a beginner, and obviously not a gifted one!)
But the thing is to practise, and I also bought me a new spinning wheel – I fell in love with the Majacraft Suzie Pro; and here is my second and third attempts – fiber from Posh:
The pinkish was my second , and the purple the third. I got better, hopefully.
Then my fourth go, with Gemmy Batts from Hobbledehoy:

A truly great fun spinning these – colours make me happy!
The lovely blue yarns from Weird and Twisted found their way to my loom. Guess what this will become? (yes, I know my selvegdes are horrible, yes, I will do something about it later on) This is my new kitchen-curtain! Yes, you read right. I think I got the effect I wanted; weaving quite loose. Note to myself: NEVER EVER PUT SOMETHING MOHAIRISH INTO THE WARP. Bah. I have added some yarn from Wooldancer as well, this curtain is going to be quite long, but the rest of the yarn is from WeirdandTwisted. 200 cm to go. My kitchen window is 300 sm long.


Happy Easter Holiday!

Spennende med kjøkkengarndiner som du både har vevd selv og spunnet garnet til! Synes du er kjempeflink!

Hey, that looks good! If it’s any consolation: my first yarns were as irregular as yours
And you’ve already gotten so much better with the following yarns, I’m impressed!
I love the idea of a woven kitchen curtain and am looking forward to seeing pictures when you’re done!
Cheers,
Weird
