I did not take a photo of my full spindle after spinning the fibre batt. I am going to transfer the single spun yarn onto a bobbin and I think I am going to 2 ply this.
I did not get much spinning done this week as I would like to have done, but at least I am spinning everyday.

I just came across your blog through Kollabora and I'm SO glad I did, as I'm starting to get into spinning myself. Your work is beautiful, it's great to be able to follow a spinner and see what sort of resources they find useful. I have a wheel but I'm definitely going to start on a drop spindle to get the feel of things for a while. Anyways, beautiful work - thank you for inspiring me!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate!
DeleteThank you for commenting on my blog.
Your comment made me so happy and put a smile on my face!
What wheel do you have?
Drop spinning is so addictive and it always really nice to have a pretty drop spindle..... I don't think you can have too many drop spindles.
I have found your blog and I will pop by to say Hi! ~ Your work is amazing and I really am looking forward to reading your blog!
