This weekend, I thought I would bust out that roving I got back at the Iowa Sheep and Wool Festival in June, and try my hand on the drop spindle. First, I tried spinning from the long thick piece of wool like the lady at the festival told me to. That didn't work. Then, I pulled the roving apart into that little ball of fluff at the bottom right of the photo. That helped, but I still ended up with this:
I do think that it counts as yarn, but it's a little over-twisted. The thing is, if I let it twist any less, it fell apart. I'm going to have to keep practicing!
