Beautiful spinning! You make me want to try that blend!

I like the thwacking and shaking and snapping, but not so much on the weighting. I think it hides things about the yarn that could come back later and disappoint.

Thwacking, hmmm. I can think of a few things I’d like to thwack but it wouldn’t be yarn! It is a pretty color though.

Pretty! Love the colors.
I think it’s okay to weight weaving yarn so as to get rid of some of the elasticity. Not something you’d want to do with knitting yarn…

Nice skein! I am noticing a trend with that color being spun a lot this winter. A yearning for Spring me thinks.

Thwacking is fun and if it works for you, it works.

Wow, my info for posting wasn’t automatically on my laptop. I seriously need to use this thing more often.

The Shop by Color thingie mostly seems to key on the color of the background against which the object for sale is posed. Still, that was fun.

Love the yarn!

I love to thwack and weighing down yarn makes me nervous. I’m afraid I would stretch it out and end up with a mess at the end. Ya know? I think a lot of this spinning business really comes down to what works for you. However, I only know enough to be dangerous.
