Spinner, knitter, UX designer, weightlifter. Will probably mostly post about my wool hobbies here.
I’m going to choose a spinning project for it and report back.

I have this Gooney I’m currently plying with which weighs 22g. I haven’t weighed it to see how much I’ve put in it yet. I also have a Swan that’s 42g—I’ve managed to put 24g of singles onto the Swan and it’s starting to get harder to work with.

4 oz would be great! I don’t have a Dragonfly yet but it’s definitely on my wishlist.

Yes I also enjoy that about it! Only thing is I’d like a bigger spindle eventually so I can ply more at once

That always confused me too—tapping on the bubble is to leave a comment but if you wanna see the comments you have to tap on the original post…I think 😅

I love my support spindles because I’ve always preferred a woolen drafting style, but I’m currently enjoying the extra eye candy I get from spinning on my Turkish spindles. Wrapping singles on them is so satisfying and now I’m plying on one too.

Absolute chaos because who knows what’s in that 20%? Cotton? Polyester? Pet hair? All of the above 😂

But now I’m eyeing my dryer lint and wondering how it’ll spin 😂

Thank you! I made it from a painted braid from deep stash that wasn’t inspiring me anymore. I’m happier with this result.

I’m finding it challenging to spin my bfl/silk rolags for the same reason! It’s not drafting as easily as I would’ve thought for a woolen prep.

With that staple length I would do woolen, but I also prefer spinning woolen 😄

Thank you! I love how Laurie’s spindles feel in my hands so far and the convenience of switching to another shaft when I’ve filled the current one.
