Tartan Project Step #2 Spinning the Wool

After the wool was finished drying after the dyeing process, I began to spin the wool into yarn. I have been using a drop spindle for this process. When I first started spinning with the drop spindle I wasn't very good. Lots of lumps and bumps. There is still some variation in my spinning by not near what it was. Interestingly enough, some of my friends like the lumpy yarn better, then they can tell that the project was hand spun and so gives it more character. Here is a picture of the wool that was spun into yarn for this specific project.  This only needed navy blue, red and green. I wish the green had been darker. And some of the wool has light spots in it.  More character for you.
