First Efforts

This is the knitted result of about three hours spinning with the Faroe Island yarn. The fatter end of the piece indicates the first spun yarn; the spinning got finer and then seem to stabilize.

I cast on 10 stitches using a #8 needle. The pieces measure 11inches. I was surprised once I starting knitting at how much I spun. The yarn turned out lumpy and uneven and some of it seems to me to be overspun. The wool isn't scratchy. Nor is it bouncy like Merino but feels light and insulating. I will post pictures after I soak and dry the piece.
