I thoroughly enjoy spending time spinning yarn, I currently am unable to spin using my wheel. I am still impaired from the car accident. Not wanting to be hobbyless, I wandered around the Black Sheep Gathering and I found a vendor I had not seen before. Jenkins, they hand make beautiful tiny Turkish Drop Spindles. I couldn't resist trying to see if I could spin using one of these beauties. The kind people at Jenkins showed me how to spin without hurting my arm! I am so tickled to report that I have spun my first skein of 100% alpaca yarn and it was a dream!!! I take my new drop spindle with me where ever I go. It's amazing how much you can spin waiting for doctor appts or on my breaks at lunch. Thank you Jenkins for a perfectly balanced drop spindle and Cascade Shadow Alpacas for the most scrumptious alpaca I've had my hands on. My plan for this yarn is to make a lace shawl, I'll combine it with my black angora bunny fiber. That will be heaven in my hands!
