Spinning Hand Dyed Haunui: Learn With Me, or help me! (Beginner Friendly)

Welcome to the very first Spinning Stories! 🧶✨ Today, I’m sharing the spin of my first Hand dyed braid, 100g of beautiful Haunui top. I purchased the fleece from Azrah of ‪@FleeceFolkDiary‬ from her Etsy store, links below. I’m sharing my process from start to finish—how I prepped the braid, finding my drafting rhythm, and plying and finishing the final skein. Whether you’re brand new to spinning and want to learn alongside me, or you’re an experienced spinner who has great tips to share in the comments (please do!), grab your wheel, or knitting project, and let’s hang out :) Fiber & Details: Fiber: 100g Hand-Dyed Haunui [Insert micron / wool details if known] Dyer & Colourway: Fleece Folk Fibre (Azrah) / https://www.etsy.com/au/market/fleece... / Colour - Wilted Dawn    / @fleecefolkdiary   Wheel / Setup: Twisted Sheep e-spinner https://thatgiftshop.com.au/products/...
