I love spinning on my spinning wheel (a Ladybug from Schacht), but some time ago I discovered the Turkish spindles. They are beautiful wooden spinning tools and make spinning portable.
Two little "turks" at work:
Right: Medium Capar Left: IST-craft spindle
I have a few more of them....I promise to make a group-photo later ;)
The fibre that I'm spinning here is a batt named "Snow Glow" from Nunoco. They make soooo nice batts! Spinning them is a dream.
This fibre has: 50% Merino, 40% faux cashmere and 10% Firestar.
I just love the pastel gradient, and it sparkles just a little bit....
I spun each batt (50g) as a gradient single, then plied them together on my wheel:
"Snow Glow", 495m/100g
This will make a beautiful shawl some day!
