This is all I've gotten done today. Time to ply, but probably after dinner. I'm hungry!

3). Yay ! I signed up for a spinning class
40. I never realized the size of yarn, needles and how much I needed are important

I got to enjoy a fully masked hand spinning / drop spindle class for beginners yesterday, and I made my own 2-ply yarn. I really want to keep working on my consistency. I need to level up a bunch before I can justify a spinning wheel. #spinning #yarn #dropspindle #fiberarts

I’ve been doing some more drop spindle spinning lately. The fiber batt is a mix of recycled yarn I put together on my drum carder. #spinning #yarnspinning #dropspindle #fiberart #recycledart #FiberArtist

Fat little spindle! My first attempt at plying on a drop by swapping hands and mirroring all the spinning moves. I'm reasonably happy with the result, although it's a less "tight" ply than on a wheel. My drop is the second tiniest of TurtleMade's 3D printed spindles - super light and very well-behaved and small enough to fit in a pocket. Bought in the UK from Cat & Sparrow.

The sun was out again, feint breeze and the wind chimes clanging quietly, I decided to spin a little. It was #bliss, my #happyplace @frogglin #spinning #TDS #dropspindle

Hit another point of forgetting social media platforms. 😅 I blame Lucy Calkins’ writing curriculum.
Anyway, did a bunch of fun crochet projects over the past few months, and started to learn how to spin my own yarn! #crochet #dropspindle

This is the third and latest. I've been focusing on even thickness and moderately thin, and I'm pretty happy with the results here. But at this thickness it is frustratingly slow! This shows several evenings of 1-2 hours of spinning.
The biggest challenge is getting the fiber to draft evenly. Preparation (carding and how you remove it from the cards) is part of the equation, but also the unevenness of fibers means sometimes everything can just pull apart.
At times I've been able to do fine "long-pull" drafting like I've seen in cotton spinning tutorials, but then you hit a short spot and it all falls apart.
So far this is only single ply.
Also, nothing in the photos in this thread have had their spin "set" with a hot bath on a niddy noddy. That's another experiment I'll be working on in the near future.
That's all for now! More fun experiments to post in the coming weeks.

Spending my evening spinning with my top whorl spindle and avacado merino/silk fiber from Ashford.
I’m really wanting to get a ring/finger distaff, but no one in New Zealand makes them. #spinning #fibercrafts #dropspindle
