New spindles...

I tried supported spindles before, but somehow although I could produce a thread, it was not much fun. Then I took a workshop about supported spindling (and also spun a lot of long draw on my wheel) I kind of rediscovered my supported spindles. So much fun...

I was lucky to get 2 new spindles, made by "A spinners lair". Sadly he passed aways several years ago. I already had one spindle made by him and liked it very much. These are my new spindles, tibetian style supported spindles.

Progress...

Currently knitting: Maasälpä by Veera Välimäki



Currently spinning: Scraps from a Swap long ago... sorted them into light and dark scraps... the plan is to get different yarns to knit the brilliant but slightly insane pattern Fox Paws
