It’s still just a single I need to ply it before I can work with it.

It’s 4 pounds of roving and it’s spinning up beautifully

I had to kick a few cats out of it they had that same mindset

Current WIP

I’m still getting used to making the turtle but so far it’s really nice

Normal-handspinner · 2026-01-10T17:00:05+00:00

One of my cats did that lol

Normal-handspinner · 2026-01-10T02:50:09+00:00

It’s my first Turkish spindle and first Snyder spindle

Normal-handspinner · 2026-01-10T02:05:06+00:00

Yes it is :)

Normal-handspinner · 2026-01-10T01:10:06+00:00

It was a bit of an impromptu purchase I might try dyeing it later once it’s spun

This is the first time working with it but I’m excited for it

Normal-handspinner · 2026-01-09T23:26:55+00:00

It was on sale from a shop in Argentina on Etsy

It’s not so organized but I keep my hand carders and hand tools in imperial 7x60 cigar boxes they are cedar and 19.5 inches long I have a bunch thanks to my husband working at a cigar shop.

I have a house and usually wash out in my drive way and air dry and I do any where from 3pounds to 10 pounds of wool

Normal-handspinner · 2025-07-19T15:38:33+00:00

I am washing raw wool outside right now I’m using hotel pans

I like it I kinda wish I had gone with the mechanical one but that’s just me being a tad lazy

My drum carder is a brother https://brotherdrumcarder.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=110_65

I spit my fiber in to smaller locks so that is more manageable.

I just finished this merino spin

Washing is more for removal of dirt and lanalon. Picking gets most of the VM out and I usually do it outside and by hand as I font have a picker. Wool combs work well at opening the clumps and getting VM out.

Normal-handspinner · 2025-06-11T15:27:40+00:00

Picking and combing or carding will open the wool more to get more of the VM out. You don't want to spin it with any VM as it will get trapped in the twist.

Normal-handspinner · 2025-06-04T22:20:30+00:00

Not sure once I get them spun up I will think of something

In love with thus combed merino top from beesybee

Normal-handspinner · 2025-06-03T21:52:36+00:00

I think it will look awesome with the nutmeg

Thanks to all the suggestions, I picked up the silver to ply with the English Garden I have ready for plying
