I bought some fiber at Etsy, the orange is 100% mohair. Super-yummy, but a bit difficult for a new beginner. The hair was in different lengths, some quite short. But as a chunky effect-yarn it\u00b4s very nice. (The chunks are a result of my beginner-status)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-18830\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MG_0818.gif\" alt=\"_MG_0818\" width=\"450\" height=\"262\"><\/p>\n<p>My second try was different fiber-mix: Merino-wool and silk. Very smooth, carded fibers made it easier to spin. The workshop was only a 2-hour thing, so I didn\u00b4t really get tino it. But I do have a new spindle, and will continue when I get home.The part I\u00b4m really looking forward to is using the yarn in a knitting-project.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-18831\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MG_0820.gif\" alt=\"_MG_0820\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p>                       <!--for paginate posts--><\/p>\n<div class=\"postspace\">\n\t<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<!--all options over and out--><\/p>\n<p>\t<!--include comments template--><\/p>\n<p><!-- You can start editing here. --><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<!-- If comments are open, but there are no comments. --><\/p>\n<p>        <!--do not delete--><\/p>\n<p><!--single.php end--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally!
