Re: Finally entered something in the county fair

Thank you all! I'm pretty pleased with it because while I've put handspun into a sweater, I've never actually planned and spun the yarn for an entire sweater. I was a little concerned that it might be too gaudy but once I started knitting, I knew it was going to be all right.? Knitting with handspun is just fabulous. So much better than knitting with commercially spun yarn. On Thu, Aug 24, 2023 at 10:37?AM Melisande R. Wolf via <melisanderwolf= [email protected]> wrote:

They did a feature story last year on the natural dyer who runs the dye part of the Wool Room and decided to do one this year on me.? My 2 mins of fame! ? Late to the party but - holy smokes!!! ?

? I know Ann is the expert and the person who routinely enters lots of items in the fair. I decided to enter my first 100% handspun sweater in the fair this year and it won the grand prize for the wool-blend category I am pretty chuffed! Maybe I'll enter more stuff next year. I also realized that a lot of the handspun yarn is fairly small skeins. I don't know why that didn't occur to me! --
