I'm sitting here looking at this very pretty ball of yarn I dyed and spun. I learned to knit and while I like it, it doesn't give me the orgasm I want when it comes to the rich goodness of the yarn. I like the yarn all wild and crazy. I like the funky loops....the random squiggles....the way it wraps around itself. So what am I supposed to do

you said you tried felting but weren't happy with the results. I haven't been too happy with the pieces I have tried either, but I got this book out the library today:

I don't care for the projects that much, but I think they can be adapted , and I really like her techniques and suggestions and am now eager to try felting again (along with my million and one other projects)

What about getting a flower loom or daisy loom to make little yarn flowers? I bet they'd be amazing made from handspun.
