I half want to try spinning and half don't - I don't have the time for more hobbies, let alone the space for a fibre stash :)<br /><br />I have, however, clicked on your link, so who knows, you might have started something!pinkundinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994450142485371131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467539665147220343.post-24297753176644611402012-01-25T02:34:18.182+00:002012-01-25T02:34:18.182+00:00I bought a drop spindle before the holidays for my...I bought a drop spindle before the holidays for myself (and gave one to my Mom for Christmas), and I am enjoying mine. My yarn is not as even as yours yet, however!

Sitting and spinning without having to stop sounds amazing though! I've definitely caught the bug though, I've already started spinning the rest of the roving from the kit.Emma (GirlAnachronismE)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07354226176191037080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467539665147220343.post-45491291941279503972012-01-24T20:34:58.047+00:002012-01-24T20:34:58.047+00:00Ah!

Just wait until you want a wheel...<br /><br />I never got very good with drop spindles (I have a couple top whorls and a handmade Turkish drop spindle - the kind with the big cross at the bottom)...and I pretty much skipped the drop spindle entirely (though I still have three) and went right to a wheel. I love my wheel. I think the problem I had with the drop spindle was the constant stopping and starting when I had to wind my singles onto the spindle or when the spindle hit the floor. I don't have that problem with the wheel because I can just keep going until I run out of fiber in my hands...<br /><br />Just wait. You'll want a wheel...Renee Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513788818111774118noreply@blogger.com
