I dyed this yarn with food coloring and vinegar. I guess that counts as something handmade? Right? The red one I'm calling Redshift and the multi-colored Handpainted I'm calling Decomposition of Light. I'm teaching myself to dye yarn via books, YouTube, and websites.

Beautiful. I se left over easter egg dye to dye small amounts of roving. I spin yarn from it and make small items, like baby socks or mittens.

@IchbineineTomate she has shared quite a bit, look in the group pictures. There is another fiber artist too.
@IchbineineTomate I used to have a photo of the latest roving ( that was four years ago, before I started breaking all my bones) All the little things I knitted in the past have always gone to some baby or child. Bless you heart for wanting to start with a drop spindle ( it's called a drop spindle for a reason) Did you know you can make your own? From some old CDs and a stick? Let me see if I can dig that up.
