I am really enjoying using this ultra tiny spindle. The yarn is so fine, I would hate to knit it, but it really is very pretty. And spinning this thin on that tiny little spindle is absolutely addictive. Way to go Jeanne...now I want one with a notch! :-)
This is the picture I promised of the Falkland from Kae that I spun and plied yesterday...the skein and a good close-up, using a quarter for perspective.
This picture is of the Briar Rose Spindle and my wrist distaff, all loaded and ready to pick back up again. Again, I added the quarter for perspective. :-)
Sometimes it is really hard for me to realize I had one informal less than three months ago. I have really taken to the drip spindle and the whole spinning experience. I truly enjoy the process. I would never have guessed how much I would enjoy spinning with a drop spindle, but I take one with me everywhere.

I am utterly amazed you've only been spinning for 3 months. I bought a drop spindle and some rovings, was raok'd some roving and even bought "Spin It" and still haven't spun yet. I reverently placed the drop spindle, book and roving into a sealed plastic craft container and there it sits. I'm really waiting for my dd to go to school in September to get started. I may have to call on you for some tips!
Pretty skein! Rissa I think it is safe to say that you are totally addicted to spindles AND to the Faerie Lady's beautiful roving :-)The color is very pretty. Do you know what she uses to dye her rovings? Or is it a secret?
I have no idea how she dyes her stuff, but I am sure she would tell you. :-) I told her last time that you and I tend to go for the same colors. LOL
