pickI'm shocked I haven't heard of this book until now. As a handspinner myself, I was pretty familiar with the subject matter. That said, I still learned a lot along the way. I enjoyed her writing and thoughts and reflections on the industry. And yes, this is just a fraction of my own wool stash. The grey in the middle is jacob wool that is slated to become a sweater. My daughter is going to knit it for me once I'm finished spinning it.
julesG ❤️❤️❤️ I'm admiring your stash. And now I want to find my drop spindle and buy some yarn. 1w

bookishbitch @JulesGreads I understand! My brain does that too. What kind of drop spindle do you use? 1w

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Fiber stash! 😍 I‘ve been knitting more than spinning lately but now I too am itching to dig out one of my spindles and fleece. 😅 I also need to get my hands on this book. Stacked for sure! 4d
bookishbitch @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm what kind of spindles do you use? I'm a high whorler. 3d
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @bookishbitch I have a bottom whorl and a Navajo spindle. I‘m still getting the hang of the big Navajo one. 😅 3d
bookishbitch @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I learned on a bottom whorl. I've not tried a Navajo yet. It looks challenging. 3d
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm When I bought it, the shop owner was so excited, she said, “I‘ve never met anyone that knew how to use it.” I had to break it to her that I didn‘t, but I had watched some YouTube videos and figured; since I‘d already taught myself how to spin with a drop spindle; I could learn. I have yet to feel like I‘ve got the hang of it. It‘s a whole different animal. It‘s not something I can easily carry and pull out anywhere, so it‘s strictly a home hobby. 8h
