First Time for Spinning

Hi readers!

It's a long time not to update my blog. am I busy? hmmm.. nope. Just feel so lazy to write in english. Well, I'm Indonesian, in this blog I just learn writing in english.

So, I wanna share my latest job. Spinning

I got influenced spinning from my knitter friend - also - spinner. She is Rina Rahardjo (Sorry aunty, I mentioned you on my blog :p). She has more gorgeous photos of her works. Ohh my gosh! I really want to spinning. Thanks aunty Rina for inspiring and teaching me.

I started to buy a spinning kit from Silversunalpacas Etsy shop, I got a top whorl spindle and 1.5 oz Alpaca fiber.

JUNGHANS-WOLLE

Waktu liburan kemarin di Germany, saya menemukan toko benang di jalan Annastrasse, Aachen. Saya sudah pernah ceritakan disini.

Ternyata ada satu toko benang lagi di Aachen yang untungnya tidak terlalu jauh dari flat saya. JUNGHANS CREATIVE SHOP tidak hanya menjual benang rajut, tetapi alat dan bahan kerajinan lainnya seperti melukis, membuat perhiasan, origami, dan lain-lain. Beruntungnya saya bisa menemukan surga benang di Aachen. Rasanya tidak ingin meninggalkan surga itu, tapi lama kelamaan bisa bolong kantong nya. hehehehe.

My First WOLLMEISE

Who don't knows the legendary WOLLMEISE yarn??

Wollmeise - Twin


You can googling all of information about this yarn, and you'll know ;)
I can't give more review about this yarn, because this is my first time to buy WOLLMEISE yarn. Based on review that I've read, this yarn is looks like a cotton ply when you see in hanks, but when it washed and blocked, it'll be extremely soft!

What's on Annastrasse


A simple canvas bag from they store

Last 2 months, me and my family went to Germany and other EU countries for holiday. And hunting some yarn shop is my favourite! When I stay in Aachen, Germany, I found this yarn store on Annastrasse street.
The name of this store is Goerg & Goerg. A nice small store, I love their red wall looks like chinese store when I saw in the distance. I'm a red holic by the way ;).
