Candy coloured happiness

I am seriously loving this teeny tiny spindle. I don't know if I was just at the point where I was about to make the leap to suspended spindling and finer spindling anyway or whether it is just that this is a great spindle but with this little thing, something has definitely clicked. Much more consistent, much finer. Plus it's small enough to carry around with you easily (as my critique partners found out yesterday!). Now all I have to do is resist spending a fortune on more turkish spindles. Not getting along quite so well with my other non-CD top whorl spindle. Not sure what's going on there. I shall persevere for a bit longer otherwise, I'll be on the hunt for a new one that suits me better (hard when you have to do things over the internet without trying!)





PS The pretty pretty pink fiber is Show Girl 100% Merino from Ewe Give Me The Knits

About me

I write. And when I'm not doing that or the day job, I'm often playing with fabric, needles, yarn and inevitably saying "d'oh" a lot.
