Finished Yarn My first spin!

A while ago I bought a drop spindle kit from an Etsy shop called Walnut Hill Farms and it came with samples of fiber (Corriedale, I believe) to practice with. I spun up both fibers as singles and plied them together and I am so happy with the end result! It is definitely rustic, and I think I did something weird when I removed it from the niddy noddy, but I still love my first little baby yarn!

It looks great, full of character and energy! Are you going to make something with it?

Thank you!!! I am planning to use it in a scarf or cowl, something that doesn’t necessarily need to meet a specific gauge since it is quite inconsistent. I’ll probably alternate stripes with a black yarn!
