A New Spindle!

I started spinning the purple cloud today at lunch on my CD Spindle. I did brush out the wool a little bit, but mostly I left it sort of wild. I am spinning much thinner than I was just a week ago. Although I had to stayconsistent with the other yarn, because I was aiming for bulky. LOL

When I got home there was a new spindle from Quantum Spindles on my doorstep. So of course I immediately got out the hand cards, made a rolag, and started to spin it. It is a BEAUTIFUL spindle, but it wobbles a little bit. Of course, that might change as I get more wool onto the spindle.

By the way, I used a brass washer as a homemade diz.

Here is a photo of the two yarns, dyed wool, my new spindle and my CD spindle side by side.

Very nice! Quantum spindles are so pretty, I'm enjoying mine...Spinning silk on it presently. I love the pillow in the photo :-)
