Father Christmas was very generous and brought me an Ashford drum carder. Here is my very first handspun from a batt I carded myself. It started off as a red/orange/yellow blend, and I carded it with a leaf green.

So now of course, I need loads more wool. I ordered 12 colours of merino wool (basic colour wheel) from www.forestfibres.co.uk to start me off.

One mitten is nearly finished. It will be lined with the same fleece as the scarf.
