Handspun Hat

I finally put some of the handspun I made on my drop spindle to good use.  I knit myself a hat, of course.

I used the three skeins that I have acquired through spinning of the natural wool roving I had been working with.I love the natural rustic colors with the unevenness of the yarn.  It's cool, I like it, and it's mine.

Here's the nitty gritty on Ravelry, if you are interested.

If you are a spinner, what have you created from your own handspun?

  1. Love that hat Jenn. It really looks warm and soft. I haven't gotten into spinning, which is probably a good thing... with how much time I have for all the hobbies I _already_ have. /laugh

    1. Thanks! It is. :) Spinning is fun! I use a drop spindle, which doesn't take up much space. I do understand the too many hobbies thing, though!

  2. It is beautiful! You should be proud of yourself, not only did you make yarn but now you can wear your creation. I hope to start spinning this year. My daughters husband got her a wheel for Christmas and I got a beautiful drop spindle.

  3. I love that hat :) It's so lovely with all the randomness and such. I love spinning on a drop spindle, and sometimes the best yarns are the random ones like this.

    1. Thank you! It is fun to have random yarn. I just kept adding different wools when I ran out of roving.
