Yes, that’s a reference to a Queen song. It just pops into my head when I think about this new spindle. Can’t help it.
Spinning on my new bottom-whorl spindle is such a joy. It seems less twitchy than the top-whorl spindles I’m accustomed to. I need to experiment with some other bottom-whorl styles as I’m not sure if this is a function of the whorl placement, or if it’s just this specific spindle.
Anyhow, I’ve been spinning on this thing whenever I have a free moment over the last few days, and I’m almost done with my first 4oz of wool. I’m off to a pretty good start for Tour de Fleece 2018.
pretty 🙂 And I should try my ‘new’ bottom spindle soon, but I’m still too much in love with my little turkish one…
I so need to make the next step and venture into spinning
Love!
I’m debating on whether to take a class on this at STITCHES next year.
