Yes, I'm spinning - I LOVE it! I am out of wool right now, so knitting up what I spun before - making scarves. This yarn is a little lumpy and bumpy as I am a beginner, but it looks like expensive novelty yarn!!!!
Is the stuff you're using, the cleanings off the carding machines, for sale somewhere? Is it less expensive? My dh is laid off of his job right now, so we are really watching the pennies.
Mikesgirl, I am so glad you are spinning. I remember wanting so badly to make non lumpy bumpy yarn and worked so hard at it, that now its nearly impossible for me to spin it and I WANT to make some lumpy bumpy, so don't be like me, remember always how to do it. Yes, the roving is cheaper getting it off the carders. Most wool processing places have it for sale.
Here is a picture of the yarn I have been spinning this morning. Will be making a shawl for myself with it.

it's a wool blend, the stuff they clean off the carding machines.
Are you spinning yet ?
I probably will knit or crochet my shawl
