Thank you . Bookmarked it. Sometimes you need a refresher to get you going.

This is a good tutorial - wish I'd had it when I bought my drop spindle...I'd taken spinning lessons and was hooked, but the cost of buying a wheel was prohibitive at the time, and I figured a drop spindle would be a good alternative. Wrong. I used some roving I'd dyed with Kool Aid (it was red) and what I managed to spin with that little drop spindle looked more like intestines than yarn. That's when I started saving pennies and bought my first wheel.

I have purchased various styles of spindles, made many more and especially love my homemade 2-CD bottom whorl spindle. I learned to spin with both wheel and spindle by viewing various DVDs and practice, practice, practice.

This new section is inspiring me to get my drop spindles back out and begin spinning again. I need to work on plying with my spindles. I love looking at what others have spun and woven.
