I'm Katja and I fell down the fiberarts rabbit hole. I luv it 🧶
I really like them both but if I'm forced to choose I would go for the low contrast one.

Usually I store my skeins in hanks because there won't be that much tension on the yarn than I would keep them in cakes. I don't see much difference in both options personally but of course it could be a matter of storage space too.

It really depends where I'm spinning. At home I prefer my supported spindles, mostly Tibetian or Russian styles. When I'm on the road, I love my crossarm spindles because they're so portable. It's so easy to pick them up to make something useful while waiting for the train.

Zwartbles is my favourite fiber to work with. I hope you'll have a cheerful spinning time.

Every journey starts with a small step. 😊 Just take your time and enjoy the process, whenever you're ready for it. Feel free to ask if you need help, most people in the spinning community are incredible supportive and happy to help you with any issues or questions.

The spindle with the glass tip in the front is from Mingo & Asho, the two ones on the right in the stand are from The Spanish Peacock, next to it are the 3 honey spoon shaped ones from TheSpindleshop and all the other ones are from Regenbogenwolle. I also own more from other great artists.

Thank you ❤️ These are supported spindles. You'll let them spinning in a bowl on your lap or on a surface of your choice, keeping a finger or the palm of your hand at the tip of the spindle to balance it.
Please feel free to ask if you have more questions, I'm happy to help.

Thank you ❤️ Each of them spins a bit different but I really love them all.
