I've been meaning to try spindles again. (My first attempt was rather a disaster, but it was many years ago under the tutelage of my Swiss German landlady.)

You have ambition! <br /><br />I've been on a spinning kick recently, too, though I didn't get around to dyeing more last weekend, so I have nothing to put on the wheel at the moment. The horror! Good thing Saturday is soon. =)EGunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941668303286640744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-90682224862641331232011-05-19T17:26:32.215-07:002011-05-19T17:26:32.215-07:00So much excitement!

Purling stranded is almost as awful as purling garter in the round (in fact, it's the same thing, isn't it?)<br /><br />Your spinning is fabulous! I've never noticed the similarity of hair but then again, I mostly <i>want</i> to spin, rather than actually attempt it.Carrie#Khttp://mymiddlenameispatience.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-76829570781621732662011-05-19T05:11:38.726-07:002011-05-19T05:11:38.726-07:00How much of knitting/spinning is getting the produ...How much of knitting/spinning is getting the product and how much is just using amazingly beautiful tools and supplies?

But don't give up on that heavier spindle. It may be just the thing for a certain fiber or prep. Over the years I had been using smaller and smaller spindles and spinning finer and finer yarn. <br />Then I got an abbybatt and had no empty small spindle! The 1.2 oz Hatchtown should be too heavy, but it is pure joy with a long stable spin. I'm getting almost-laceweight, fine enough for my uses.<br /><br />Beverly near YosemiteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-8604519823373797502011-05-18T20:05:57.037-07:002011-05-18T20:05:57.037-07:00I have just never gotten the hang of spindles.
