Made with Handspun My handspun to final product!
I can't say buy nube , because it was a terror to spin but glad I was able to use it successfully in this top.

I love this! I also enjoy spinning Nube, but I do a lot of pre-drafting. My fiber often sits around for awhile and pre-drafting is a necessity for me.

Weird question: but if you were acquiring clothes for a time travel organisation would you use handspun and hand woven cloth for clothing before the invention of the spinning jenny?
I am seriously impressed by how fine your thread is

Thanks, I love working with sport weight usually so I spin to about that

Awesome. Have you ever tried weaving. Also if a mysterious person emailed you and asked you to spin a bunch of undyed wool (in various shades of brown) what rate would you demand for your services?

Unfortunately it's so slow I couldn't be paid enough. I know some who weave their homespun but I haven't

That is a shame. Could you please ask those that do what their rate would be? I am asking as a writer, not because I have any hope of hiring their services

Oh this is beautiful. And I would always say: buy Nube because it is one of my favorite (I've already made it through 27 skeins, 4 different colorways and always sweater quantity)
