I've been spinning singles from bamboo fiber, which has been interesting. The fiber I'm using is really a "stuffing" fiber and, if combed or carded, might make for more even singles, but that wouldn't be nearly as much fun! I have learned some things as I've spun it.
And now I'm plying it (2 ply) and I'm liking it--it's funky and soft!
I'm about to run out of bobins. Crisis. A new niddy-noddy is on its way, however. And next weekend I should be able to warp the loom and use some of my handspun yarn as weft in a small piece--just to weave some of the yarn I've been spinning and plying. Should be fun!!
