Hi all

I have just bought a drop spindle from someone on another forum and i have absolutley no idea where to begin! Laughing

Never too late to learn a new skill , right?

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

You never stop learning things! If you PM Sally, she sells a booklet about how to use a drop spindle, or I think there are various resources on the web. I'm completly new to spinning too (My drop spindle and Sally's booklet, are my winter project this year)

Oh - welcome, by the way!

Hello Jam-mam

The book 'Spin it' by Lee Raven is good, and there are usually some second hand on Amazon.

Glad you found this forum, the ladies are great Very Happy

I've only been a member for a couple of days myself.

Welcome from me too. Drop spindling is highly addictive and should carry a health warning!

Ask anyone here... Laughing

Thanks for the link natalie, and I have ordered the book Caire (will be 2 - 3 weeks) as usual I want everything now! So the online resource is a good place to start.

It's lovely to be beginning again, so little pressure to get it right straight away Laughing

Hee hee, you will soon be experiencing why the forum is called the dropped spindle and not the drop spindle Very Happy
