I also had the pleasure to win a spindle. So managed a quick play on it too. I think I will always prefer to use my wheel but it will be fun learning how to use it and they do say that some fibres spin differently on different wheels and spindles too. I also received a pack of mixed coloured corriedale as well. So I will do some reading on spindling and have a bit more of a go at it.
On Saturday I am heading off to Wangaratta for a fibre event so I will be back on Sunday with the results of FNSI. I believe it is hosted by a local spinning group and there are a few people I know that will also have things for sale there. I am on the look out for Mothers Day presents and that will be a suitable shopping place for them lol. Plus it will be a lovely day to join others.
Have a lovely weekend everyone,

These all look really good, Katherine. I thought your earlier work was good, but I can see that these are better. You're really gaining some skill!
These are lovely colours Katherine - really vibrant. I had a spindle for many years - never did get the hang of it!
Well, I sure wish I had read this post earlier...... I work in Wangaratta (although I live about 45kms from there), but somehow missed that the fibre thing was on. I'm hoping this year to get back to learning how to spin - I have an ashford but it needs a part (tension thing I think from memory)! I've also just received an order of yarn from ixchell - so it seems we have a few things in common!!
