&bull Monday, February 23, 2009 - Forging Ahead With Fiber

I am not a resolution kind of person.  I am more of a goal-oriented person.  I set goals and do my best to attain them.  I can be pretty hard on myself if I don't attain them too.

One of my goals (actually written in a little book I made) of 2009 was to further my fiber and spinning knowledge.  I am excited to report that my friend, Jacy and I are taking a drop spindle class Saturday.  It should be fun.  The drop spindle has always fascinated me and I am looking forward to this.  I will report back at the end of the week.

You will love using the drop spindle once you learn how to do it. What I love about it is that it is so portable. You can take it with you everywhere.
Don't discouraged if you don't make perfect yarn at first. It takes time to get the drafting consistent. If you spin on a wheel, then you should catch on pretty fast.
Good luck!!

I'm looking forward to your reports! We really want to learn how to do this too. Boy, I sure hope we get some wooly lambs this year!

Lucky you! A friend of mine at school did spinning, and she used to use the drop spindle whilst walking round the school in between lessons. I used to walk behind her, winding the wool that she was spinning. I've often thought about trying it for myself, but I've no idea where to start - or where I might buy fibre to spin.

Best wishes,
Jo

I confess I never got the hang of it. I picked up spinning on a wheel pretty quick, but somehow was all thumbs with a drop spindle.

Hope you made out better than I did!
