Well, at least I keep telling myself that! Actually, I found this site, ICanSpin.com, which has some helpful videos showing different aspects of using drop spindles.
I am, of course, impatiently waiting for the day when my hands figure this out and I can produce enough consistent yarn to actually use for something. I seem to have two choices at the moment: consistency or speed…although I almost managed to figure out how to draft the fibers at the same time the spindle was spinning last night. Almost.
Sorry, I’m probably going to blather on about my beginning spinning efforts way more than I should for the next couple of weeks. New hobbies are dangerous!
