The eighth WoW advent calendar spin took a really long time. Still, I discovered the joy of the short backward draw. I found it easier than the short forward draw when #handspinning this merino–silk blend. And I fell in love with chain plying — it’s starting to feel like a breeze. 😃

The seventh fiber blend from the WoW advent calendar was inspired by potatoes. And the resulting yarn „screams“ mashed potatoes.
I dared to try a long draw (well, kind of 😂) and I’m glad I did it. It was way easier on my hands.

I'm delighted with how the sixth spin from the WoW advent calendar turned out. Although it was still challenging in terms of pain, seeing the finished yarn made me incredibly happy and proud.

The fifth fiber blend from the WoW advent calendar was the most difficult one so far, mentally. I started feeling some pain from #handspinning while I was under (self-imposed) pressure to finish all the spins timely. The result is a relatively thick yarn, with much regret that I was pushing through.

They said sanding was dusty and messy … meanwhile my sewing room is covered with lint.

First time spinning pineapple and banana fibers - so exciting! It was nice watching the colors blending together and I like how it turned out.

The third handspun from the WoW fibre advent calendar is my favorite one so far. The fiber blend was incredibly soft and so inviting to be spun. I loved spinning every centimeter of it.

The second handspun yarn from the WoW fibre advent calendar. Slightly thinner than the first one at 12 WPI. I found the bits of waste sari silk quite challenging for spinning. Overall I had a lovely time spinning it.
