I've been spinning my arse off this weekend. I'm almost done with my first batch of wool and I'm anxious to buy more. Although I must admit that I'm struggling with the animal fiber vs. natural fiber debate. I'd feel much better about myself if I weren't using fiber from an animal other than my own, but the wool is just so easy to spin and kool-aid makes for a very cheap method of dyeing. I'm hoping maybe if I practice on the cotton some more, I'll get used to it. Anyway, take a look at what I made so far:

First yarn: 35 yds, self-striping rainbow. I made this one before I knew about the magic of microwaving the dye, so the colors are a little washed out.
Second yarn: 67 yds, also striped. I meant for the green to be much more blue. I'm still learning how each dye color behaves.
Third yarn: 45 yds, random red tones. This one is my favorite so far.
