I got this one at Golding Fiber Tools for which I've had a weakness for quite some time now.


This particular model I chose since I wanted to make sure I'd be able to spin as finely as I wanted to - and boy, it works like a charm! I wouldn't call the outcome 'thread' but it's close. "Tsunami" (that's how the spindle is called) weighs only 0.5 oz, and spinning the merino/bamboo mix is as easy as pie.

This is my first trial with the new spindle. I don't know what the fibre is, I was given a sample with the merino/bamboo mix but I suspect it's a superwash 100% merino. It is sooo soft - and I managed to get a 2-ply laceweight.

Oh she is a Beauty! and very pretty colours in both those yarns!
Beautiful yarns Mona!
Very pretty! I just got my first spindle (from my Secret Pal) so I'm ready to learn to make my own yarn too! My spindle is much longer than your though, I have no idea if size matters...
Oh yes she *is* lovely! As the yarn you've conjured up. Yum!
