A Square Peg.....

I finally got my little light spindle. The lovely lady at Weaving Works recommended this little beauty - and she is square!

She spins fine and true. I love it!!!!! They let me practice in the store, and I was so happy with how long it spun and how light it is. The spindle is made by Spindlewood Co - owned by Steve and Connie Paulsen. Their spindles are so lovely - it was hard to choose just one. I chose a little dark beauty - like me :)

I'm getting almost cobweb weight on this spindle. But I drop it too sometimes going a bit too thin. I'm getting better with some fiber I picked up to practice on.

Yummy colors!

I managed to resist getting yarn except for a birthday gift for my sister. She will have to wait and see what it is though. No pictures!!!

The spindle is so unique I like it!

We had someone else using a spindle last night too!

Lovin' the fiber colors!

And Yes! Doreen's b-day is tomorrow! Can't wait to see her Seattle b-day yarn!

Safe travels!
