Re: what fibre for beginer spinner
oh very nice.
I dont think there will ever be an end to the things you can try re spinning etc. you get onto plying different colours together etc, natural dyes,. My current thing is blending colours when carding.. I've had lots of fun making batts of wool

That looks very impressive, and I'm glad to see you've got a cat helping. I think it's monitoring the quality.
