Handspun 🙂 mostly wool, with the occasional silk/wool blend. I find handspinning, whether at the wheel or on the spindle, very meditative and calming. There’s a rhythm, and a sense of creation and accomplishment. It is a wonderful thing to keep my restless hands busy with. Frosting decorations on cookies! Having a single line of design and multiple repeats was EXACTLY THE SAME as quilting 🙂 Needle felted bat pinNeedle felted beetle pinStrap for my choir binder so my hand doesn’t have to do so much work to hold it open.
