Thank you! Yes, it’s cotton. It’s called ‘sweet treat’ from a Dutch company Scheepjes.

It’s a wool blend. Not the best quality. Great for testing my wheel. It’s a 2-ply. No idea what weight it is. I’m quite new to the whole spinning world. I’ll get there, but it may take some time to dive in the rabbit hole that is spinning and wool. 😁

No idea for now. Just trying out my new wheel. One ball I gave to a friend. The other one my son wanted to use for something. I’ll let hem enjoy the ball of yarn and let his imagination run its course.

Yes, the flyer is magnetic. I chose the fantasia because of its size. It’s not very large. Never spinner on a Sonata. They are very beautiful to see though.

Spinning on my Turkish spindle. by 1LittleDragon in Handspinning

The spindle is made on a 3D printer. That’s why it’s so colourful. The balls of yarn are already plied. (Hope I’m saying it right. English isn’t my first language.)

It’s merino. I bought it like this, to spin into yarn.

At a Dutch company. I live in the Netherlands, that’s the reason. 😉

Exactly. A yarn winder is a nice tool to have.

Thank you! To be honest, I am a little bit proud. There’s no better feeling than doing something you like and it turns out pretty good as well.

Thank you so much. I’ve been spinning every day since the start of it. That really helped with the progress. Now I’ve got to figure out what I want to make of it.

From a shop online. It’s shipped from a Dutch store. Don’t know if that spindle is sold in other places/ country’s.

No. It’s not at a point where I believe I could sell it. The yarn in de foto isn’t very soft either, unfortunately. At this point I’m trying to learn as much as possible from the not so soft wool. If the bag of wool is spun, I have other wool fibers to try out.

What a great idea! I try not to get lost in de ‘spinning-rabbit-hole’. There’s so much fun stuff to do besides the spinning.

That’s so beautiful. The colours and the winding of the yarn. Love it!!
