Summer is the perfect time to learn something new! Why not try your hand at some cotton spinning! New to spinning? It's just as easy to learn to spin cotton as it is any other fiber. It just takes a few tricks and practice. Click Here for lots of Cotton Spinning Tips. I love spinning for its own sake and sometimes never consider what I'm going to do with my handspun. Yet, let's get practical! Handspun cotton, when spun and plied correctly can be knit, woven, crocheted into just about anything you use cotton yarn for. Cotton loves to be spun fine and plied to a 10/2 lace-weight yarn; ideal for the light and airy projects. We've chosen beautiful lace weight patterns that will inspire you to spin your own cotton yarns to knit and crochet. You'll have a great sense of accomplishment starting from fiber to yarn to finished project! Click Here to learn more about these inspiring designs. Have fun spinning cotton! I do! Irene |
