Still haven't found a dedicated handspinning community, but I'm hoping this will tempt some of y'all to the dark side ๐Ÿ˜‰

I spun this last year, but haven't yet found a project worthy of it (open to suggestions!). Fiber is Merino wool, colorway is Tie Dyed Popsicles by the Wooly Witch, spun on my Babe's Fiber Starter wheel. It's about 15-16 WPI, so roughly a light fingering weight, and 170g. Planning to leave it a single since plying it might muddy those glorious, glorious colors, and that would be a travesty! ๐Ÿ˜

Still a fairly new spinner, all things considered, and mostly self-taught, so I'm open to any constructive criticism and willing to answer any questions y'all might have! Thanks for letting me briefly invade your knitting space! ๐Ÿ˜

Oh no! I thought about trying to create one, but I honestly don't have time to moderate and wouldn't want to take it away from someone who does. Definitely let me know if you do manage to get it working!!
