ok, so I was really inspired with the yarn posts today and now I want to learn to spin soooooooooo bad. I have not the slightest clue about anything to do with spinning. soooo...I was hoping you all could answer some of my questions?

1) I want to learn to spin more of the thick novelty yarns...would a spinning wheel be the only right thing for this or can a drop spindle also get the job done?

2) should I try the drop spindle or just go for a spinning wheel?

3) Where can I find cheap spinning wheels? I've already spotted a few on ebay but since I know nothing about them it's hard

4) what do you use for dyeing?

5) what websites / books / etc. do you reccomend I follow for more info?


Thank you!

oh and by the way for any of you in ny...did you hear about the knit off in union square this sunday from 12-5? they will have free lessons. Wheeeeeeee!
