For Christmas (already over three months ago, wow!) I got a very exciting present. A drop spindle! And I got started learning and practicing with it almost immediately, and I must say I've fallen in love. The whole process is extremely relaxing and the result is, of course, thrilling, because it's yarn. :D And you all know my feelings for yarn.
This is my favorite fiber I've spun so far, a alpaca merino blend. And oh is it delicious! Plus the color is lovely, and it's soft but strong. I dragged it everywhere while I was spinning it because I just didn't want to stop.
An up close on it's woolly goodness...
Love, Clara

This is a very extraordinary present,it is really, really nice:)
I didn't know you can buy one of these nowadays.....And your yarn looks so great, almost better than the yarn you can get in shops .
It looks absolutely fabulous! I can just imagine you spinning your yarn in your den like some sort of underground, enchanted princess. :)
Eep! I love spinning - but your yarn is so much more beautiful than any of my efforts! Alpaca/merino must be crazy soft...I went to an alpaca exhibition a little while ago, actually. Have you ever met an alpaca? They're so adorable - I'm tempted to say I might prefer them over sheep :P I should be getting your letter any time now & I'll try to write back as soon as I can.
Whoops! My mum told me the letter was from you, but it was actually from someone else :P Sorry about that.
Hope you're well!
Katherine, Oh no really I'M sorry! A letter will be on it's way to you soon I promise!
