I would love to get a spinning wheel someday but am very happy with my spindles,and have embraced spindle spinning wholeheartedly! I rarely leave home without a spinning project tucked in my bag.<br />Your singles are beautifully spun, by the way! I look forward to seeing what you do with the yarn.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11895182739916517102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934812124727792958.post-83568887604643509282011-11-09T17:24:34.549-05:002011-11-09T17:24:34.549-05:00Congrats on your AHA moment!

It's so exciting when drafting finally makes sense. <br /><br />Also, the good news about spinning is that if you can always add more twist if you need to. I found myself not putting enough twist when plying yarn, so I often will run it through my wheel again. (Or spindle before I had the wheel)Audryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13934284269652163977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934812124727792958.post-90113936625770648312011-11-07T12:47:08.411-05:002011-11-07T12:47:08.411-05:00Beautiful!
