Kai's Yarn

Caption: 
This high-energy handspun singles yarn is very special. It's some of Kai's first handspun yarn, spun on an Ashford Joy wheel. It has a titch of Angelina fiber blended in for sparkle. When Kai heard about the blanket project, he ran upstairs and pulled this out of his yarn stash. He handed it to me, and then said to Eric, "This is handspun. I spun it myself. You should learn to spin, so you can give Mama handspun: 'cause it's better." (I love that kid of mine; he cracks me up.)
