One of the things that the Sheepspot Spinschool recommends is immediately starting to work with your handspun. As mentioned in a previous blog post I had spun up some roving from Zen Yarn Garden. It still wasn’t consistently spun, but there were sections that were very good, and I decided to knit it up into a simple garter stitch scarf. It was very nice to knit with, even with the inconsistent thickness. I used a US 6 (4.0 mm) needle. It relaxed a bit when I blocked it. Here is the pre-blocking picture.
And here is the yarn that I used.
Pattern: None - just cast on 35 stitches and work until all the yarn is used up
Yarn: Handspun from Zen Yarn Garden Superwash Merino Roving
