A continuous strand! Excellent!

You know that scene in Castaway when Tom Hanks makes a fire for the first time and declaims "I have made FIRE!" That's what it felt like the first time I spun.

@Helical_Code LOL EXACTLY! Last night I switched my left hand and right hand duties and had a much more successful spinning session. Now I need to focus on drafting a more consistent amount of material. Last night was much better but I still had a few thin spots.

@Foxthorn
It's said that once you learn to spin consistently, it's hard to spin *inconsistently*. I feel like I spin all the same stuff now, just in different colors.

@Helical_Code Are you bored with it or is the challenge now finding great color combinations and textures? If I can ever get competent at spinning, I think I would enjoy dying my own wool.

@Foxthorn
I'm not bored with it, but I find color infinitely interesting. Sometime in the next few days I'll post the colors I've been making for the Neptune blanket.

I generally don't dye fiber or yarn because it would be just a little too much like lab. It might happen at some point.
