We're members of Costco and every month or so they send out a magazine 'The Costco Connection,' and in their August edition, they called for crafters to send in emails about their hobbies. So I figured I give it a shot and wrote to them about my spinning, but I realized I basically had no pictures of me spinning! So I took some pictures of my spinning wheel and my dad took some pictures of me spinning

| Yarn on the wheel. |

| Single ply cottswold white yarn. I'll be plying it later |
 |
| And me spinning |
 |
| With some piles of done yarn at my feet |
So I wrote up an email and included the pictures and sent it off. We'll see if I ever get a response. It was fun, even if I don't . :)
Fun. I'd love to learn to spin one day, but we don't have a spinning wheel and we have no money for things like that.
ReplyDeleteYes, a spinning wheel isn't something you just jump up quickly to buy. An inexpensive on is $300.
DeleteIf you're interested in learning how to spin, I'd recommend starting with a drop spindle. Those cost only about $5 for a cheap one, so it's a good place to begin if you want to just see if you'd like spinning.
