Spinning Anniversary

by Rayne on May 7th, 2009

Last year in April, I learned to spin on a CD spindle. Shortly thereafter, I bought two new spindles (much lighter and the spinning fever began). A month later, I was gifted with a Mahogany Kromski Prelude by my wonderful husband as a Mother’s Day present. It’s been a year of learning and finally I feel I can say I really am a spinner. It’s been one year since I started spinning and one year since I received my wheel.

I’m celebrating my spinning anniversary by adding a few accessories to my wheel. I ordered a WooLee Winder and extra bobbins today for it. :) I’ve been reading so many raves for the WW and when I’m spinning I get so into the process that I forget to stop and move the yarn from hook to hook. Also, when spinning fine yarns, no matter how often I change hooks, the yarn still doesn’t wind on evenly because of the spacing of the hooks. Sure, I could add more hooks, but then I’m still having to stop. I’m looking forward to learning to use my WW so I can really get into my spinning and not have to worry about losing my rhythm because I’m constantly changing hooks.

Hopefully it won’t take too long for my new toy to arrive. I guess in the meantime I definitely need to finish the yarn I’m working on, so that I’m ready to play when it gets here.
