My First Support Spindle Skein

3/23/2015

Well I did it... FINALLY!  I spun 5.5 oz of fibre on support spindles.  It took me a couple months, as I spun each rolag when I had a bit of time.  This wonderful skein comprises of Falkland/Shetland/Merino & Polwarth wools.  2 plied I got 516 yards :)

I enjoyed this slow process.  It was very gratifying when I finished spinning and was able to start plying.  To make my plying ball I wound the yarn from each spindle into my ball winder.  I used my spindle bowl and help my spindles carefully to get all the spun singles off.

 I plied this skein on my brand new I Love Spindlez spindle that my friend Kat's husband made.

I've already been thinking about my next spindle project.  I'm leaning towards a gradient :D
