I went to a local exhibition - Wool on the Wall - yesterday and of course I had to buy something.
So, having only learned to spin on a drop spindle last month (because I was going on holiday so needed to be able to spin in the car), yesterday I bought a spindle stick. :bonkers:
The couple who make and sell them were using them on their stand, and I even had a go... but of course on getting home it all made no sense whatsoever.
I found this video on youTube - and now hear - and see - that some people really do spin on a pencil, a twig...
Spinning Fibre with a StickI haven't mastered it yet - but what fun!
Anyone else here done this?
Oh - here's a pic of my stick. It's not a Russion unsupported spindle, no - though I shall have a go at using it thus, also, I expect.
