What has Donna been up to?

Spinning yarn, of course! I just finished spinning an amazing Super Fine Merino from All SpunUp as part of a special spin-a-long. It was a surprise colorway, perfect for fall. I named mine "Oma's Pacific Northwest" for my mother-in-law. She is my kid's Oma (Dutch/German for Grandma), and she absolutely LOVES nature. When she took my oldest daughter on a road trip to Washington state a few years ago, she couldn't stop marveling at the leaves on the trees. The colors in this yarn are just like the colors of leaves changing, so there is the name.

I am moving on now, to spin more Espresso merino/tencel. This is one of my favorite fibers to spin. It is soft, has a great sheen, and the colors are so vivid. Stay tuned for more pictures!
