Learning to Spin

Hello friends -

I'm a new fiber person who started with spinning on a spindle -


and later a Kromski wheel.




I really enjoy spinning, mostly on the spindle. I find the spindle to be much more relaxing and satisfying than the wheel which is still causing me some anxiety. Perhaps after I've had a chance to take a spinning workshop things will be different.

My family now has slippers made from handspun wool, one cap and a small shawl for Jessica.


Unfortunately I've now moved on to weaving - arrgh! This new interest is slowly taking over my house. I may resort to putting bells on the children so I can find them...
