Spinning on a wheel just feels too much like work, so I haven't been spinning lately. But I love dinking around with spindles.Wool Enoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10949051835843038070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-66891181148590562732012-06-25T12:56:01.070-07:002012-06-25T12:56:01.070-07:00Yes, there were several spindle vendors at Black S...Yes, there were several spindle vendors at Black Sheep-including one RIGHT INSIDE the front door - catch em on the fly, I guess - <br /><br />We had a good time - disappointing judging with the wool show, but that's how it goes sometimes. I bought WWWAAAAYYYY too much pretty stuff - now I have to get down to business, spinning for that Artisans Faire in September. <br /><br />Glad you had a good time at Spindle Camp.

I agree with you, I hate stepping on the knots. They hurt when you are barefoot.<br /><br />What a lovely yarn from the rolag/punis. I'm going to show this trick to my spinning students next month.
