My first skein came out thick and thin. But one of my friends told me that the fiber wasn't really that good for a beginner. Drafting was very difficult.
When I was at Renaissance Yarn in Kent spinning, I bought some Louet Merino roving. This spins like a dream for me as a beginner.
Today I finished spinning it and plying it. It is now hanging in the shower drying.
Here are some photos I had promised awhile back of my finished Olive Branch Yoga Hoodie. My first hoodie. As you can see I left off the front pockets. I knit the first one up and it was so so small. I couldn't even get my fingers completely in. I don't have large hands either. Pockets are to use, so since they weren't usable, I left them off.
I also have finished the Child's Top down Bolero from Knitting Pure and Simple and the Toddler's Felted Hat. Both are for my grand-daughter Chloe's 3rd Birthday.
Check me out on Ravelry: lisamartz
All my photos are there also.
Until next time "Keep on Clickin" or "Whirrrrr!"

I think your handspun looks great for a first attempt. Bring it to knit night so we can all fondle it! :)
I find that all first time spinners spin thick and thin....even me. :)
Sad thing is....when you want to do that again......it's too hard! How is your spinning now?
