It's been hitting 100 degrees here in Minnesota, and yes I have been spinning in this horrible heat. I should also add that I do not have an air conditioner! The last time I moved I decided that I didn't need it anymore (what a fool).Today I grabbed my Handspun Revolution book by Lexi Boeger and decided that it was finally time to try out some of her designs. This one is the Super-Coil on page 51. I can't believe how much yarn it takes up. See, you take a single and thread, you ply about 3 inches then you push the single up towards the orifice. I used maybe 60 yards of left over singles and got 15 yards out of it when I was done. Once I get my Jumbo Flyer for my Ashford Traveller I will be doing this one again!

Your website is beautiful and I love this new yarn you are doing. I am always looking forward to what you will be doing next! Yeah for you girlfriend! Anna
They're beautiful!
I wish we'd known you don't have A/C, you could have come to our house & gotten cooled off with Lola licks ;) and we have a/c, so it's a win-win!
The new yarns are gorgeous!
Thanks you two! Jenna we should hang out sometime, keep intouch!
I always love your yarn I see on Craftster. These coils are outrageous. I can only imagine what a dynamo you'll be after the spinning camp. I ordered that book ages ago and hope someday it will arrive in my mailbox!
That yarn looks like so much fun to spin, and soooo purdy too!
Cool blog, interesting information... Keep it UP »
