I spun another batch of roving. It turned out better than all the other wool I've spun. I used Knit Picks "Wool of the Andes" which was advertised as good for beginners. It was great for beginners.

I used my little drop spindle that my sweetie had to jury rig to make it heavy enough to be useful. I found it to be horribly annoying as I got more wool on it. I had to spin it in 2 batches. When it was done, I had 89 yards. I know how much I have because to go around my step stool is 1 yard.

I was finally able to purchase a spinning wheel (woot!). The problem is - I've never spun before in my life. I have no idea how to spin. I've googled, but I'd like to find some tips from people who actually spin (and you can't find that in google - I don't think so, anyways. Lol).

So, tips? :)
Please? And thank you. :)

I went round my mates house for the weekend- ended up coming back with knowing how to spin. My first try :) It's not in balls yet since I should be naturally dying it so its more suitable for my work at the mo.
