I felt and crochet and spin in a primitive way. I was building a house and just got the space to work with it so I have been hoarding it a long time
@btroje With a drop spindle?
@Nottheonlyone I have some drop spindles and a Navajo spindle but I have a spinning wheel called a Mach 3 Spinolution for when I get to that point. It will spin a thicker yarn with the coarser fleece I have and use it faster. I think it would take me to the end of my life to spin the amount of fleece I have with a drop spindle
@btroje I was wondering! Nice!
