This is my first time plying on a spindle and I’m finding it easier to stop and start than when I ply on a wheel.

I’m spinning a set of gradient rolags I prepped last year. I’m dividing them onto 2 spindles and hoping the colors line up as a 2-ply yarn. It’s a small amount, as this was an experiment, so not sure what I’ll make with it yet.

I think switching spindle styles reduces the strain on my fingers from repeating the same motions, so I switched to a primitive style support spindle today.

I’m currently doing several spindle challenges and one of them is spinning at least 15 minutes a day for 60 days. Today is day 15. Wrapping on Turkish spindles is so satisfying.

This is also my first time spinning a merino/silk/flax blend.
