learn to use a spinning wheel

A while back I aired to the universe my desire to have a spinning wheel. We have an organic farm and enjoy creating tradition farm life – so why not learn to create my own yarn? A few days ago my husband and I stopped in at an antique store we’ve seen before…and low and behold but there was a working spinning wheel in great shape and bearing an insanely low price. So of course it had to come home (an interesting feat in an already crowded vehicle, but we managed). So now I have to learn to use it!

I have a list of things to do before i turn 50 and learning to spinn is on of them

then I can buy a large spinning wheel. For now I’ll just practice on my spindle and fleece

I saved and saved and saved and finally got my spinning wheel – a Kromski Minstrel. I’m in love.
