Episode 3 of Rose "Spins a Yarn" is live. This episode does a quick visit with the alpacas outside (the barn was too dark to get anything worthwhile to show), as well as how to tie your handspun (or any yarn) with figure 8 ties.

Podcast Episode 2 - WPI Meaning and PayItForward
Episode 2 is up. We discuss how to measure the thickness of your handspan yarn using WPI (Wraps Per Inch) as well as the amazing, generous giveaways from the yarn and fiber community with #payitforward
As promised my WPI range. . . . I will also put this in a PDF in the upcoming week and add it to my main website along with the translations of the new US labeling system and common needle/crochet hooks and gauge for each weight of yarn:
- Bulky (less than 8)
- Aran 8-10
- Worsted 10-12
- DK 12-18
- Sport 18-24
- Fingering/Sock 24-30
- Lace 30-40
Here is the pattern link to the hat I will be spinning for in the next coming weeks:
