You are probably aware that I have been spinning for around 18 months now. The quality of my yarn improves every time I spin and control of the singles spun yarn is such now that I can make any thickness I want pretty much. I'm gaining in confidence too, which means that my knitting projects are more often than not made in handspun now.
I'm making slipper socks for my husband for Christmas. These are in handspun from my latest Fibreholics box. I'm also using sock-stop too. This is a German product, available in the UK, which you apply to the base of socks to prevent the wearer slipping on the floor. It says you need to leave it to dry for 10-12 hours, but it's dry to touch within a couple of hours. I bought mine from P2tog.com recently.
