My Second Yarn!

This is from the roving that came with the square spindle. I'm starting to get the hang of spinning. I'm going to try to do an hour or so each day.



My First Drop Spindle Finally Arrived

I bought this on Jul 25th and it finally arrived. It's called the Trixie and I got it from Heavenly Handspinning Spindles and Wheels.



The Trixie's spindle shaft is made of oak and is about 12 inches in length and 3/8 in diameter. The whorl is made of mahogany and is about 3 inches in diameter. Trixie is hand rubbed in Danish oil and weighs approximately 1.6 ounces.

Now To Fiber!

I bought my first drop spindle on Sunday (still waiting for it to arrive). What did arrive today was my fiber!
