Baker and I am a student (and a teacher) currently working on my PhD in Australia.

And a drop spindle will certainly spin but not in the same manner as a wheel. However it is worth a try - I was taught on a spindle made by poking a chopstick into a potato!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09469885991232450604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103953637421884770.post-64307218021070223032008-11-10T00:23:00.000+11:002008-11-10T00:23:00.000+11:00I'd love to have a go at spinning, but unless you ...I'd love to have a go at spinning, but unless you can tuck a spinning wheel under a bed...?<BR/><BR/>Is spinning with a drop spindle similar / easy?Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16127623000367674910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103953637421884770.post-16839546295561304402008-11-09T23:50:00.000+11:002008-11-09T23:50:00.000+11:00annemarie - thanks :) I just want to try everythin...annemarie - thanks :) I just want to try everything!<BR/><BR/>tess - I didn't know you knew how to spin! <BR/><BR/>karen - that's exactly why I want to get into the spinning... so I can experiment with incorporating a whole variety of other materials into the wool... there are boundless possibilities (not all of them practical, of course)<BR/><BR/>lauria - it is fascinating to watch :)laughing purple goldfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416310131864970028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103953637421884770.post-21436003448235561642008-11-09T16:17:00.000+11:002008-11-09T16:17:00.000+11:00Yum.

I was not at all looking for a spinning wheel - my few attempts with a drop spindle had seemed enough. Yes, I will name it - not sure yet if it is a he or a she - thanks for this detail... And I will learn to spin once the two parts arrive that are needed. You are a - timely! - encouragement.
