This was my first experience spinning bamboo. It was a super easy spin! I loved the feel of it passing through my fingers and check out that sheen! More bamboo top purchases in my future to be sure.
Next up, another pulled silk sari single...
I love spinning this stuff too mostly due to the fact that pulled silk sari fiber is an inherently wacky spin. Easy to get a thick/thin single during the spin process.
Needless to say, my wheels are getting a workout!
Many more spools to ply and show. Stay tuned kids!

That bamboo is just gorgeous. I'm at the weird lumpy yarn stage of learning to spin and am always amazed at the wonderful things people spin.
Amazing. Makes me want to give spinning a try... Seems like it could easily become very addicting. Looks like you have a pretty great set up!
I'm amazed that you're spinning your own yarn!!!...That bamboo looks like it would make a gorgeous scarf or flower! But of course I'd like to make the whole world into a crocheted flower! LOL
I love what you've created! You are right, that sheen with the bamboo is so beautiful.
Looks so beautiful!
Ooohh, yummy eye candy!
Where do you get the sari silk? I would love to try spinning with it!
Lovely. Lovely Yarns!
That looks so cool! What a neat way to make truly unique garments. I've been on a crochet hat spree, check out my blog and let me know what you think! :)

Love the bamboo! What are you planning to make?
Your yarn and your wheel are to-die-for!
interesting.
Greetings
Love your designs. Ordered the spider web shawl pattern two days ago==the waiting is excruciating but I know you will take care of it. please send to: fireflyfarm@epix.net no matter what my PayPal sez.
Thinking of making this for an edgy prom shawl for a semi-goth neice. Spiders and all.
Thanks,

Love the bamboo...the colors are awesome!
Wow, love this. I wish I had the resources to spin my own, and not have to run myself ragged searching for the perfect colour any more.
Gorgeous bamboo!!! And, I love the crocheted eyeball in your header - lol! My kids would love that!
bamboo is something that I would really like to use.
i agree very beautiful
very, very beautiful, i love it.
That Bamboo is BEAUTIFUL! I am in awe of someone spinning their own yarn! Well done!
loved this colorful homespun.....
Wow I absolutely love your yarn! I really want to get into spinning my own. This might sound weird but my dog has lovely long, soft hair that we have to cut regularly and I'd love to be able to turn that into yarn. Is it possible to do at home without purchasing a full on spinning wheel?
