So one of the good things about being out at The Fold several days this past week, I got to browse all of the new goodies that are there. I picked out a beautiful new Charis spindle in leopard wood.
Of course you need lovely merino silk to spin on a beautiful new spindle. It’s gorgeous and I’m hoping for some very lovely light fingering or lace weight. I got 4 ounces – so maybe a light scarf or shoulderette.
I also picked up a new spindle bag made by The Bag Lady. I liked this one because it had a zipper on the top and you could swing it around you. I figure it’s just a little splurge. We need it every now and again.
I started off on the wheel, but sometimes I love to spindle. It’s simple. You can pick it up and put it down. I love the luxury wood and let me just say this one spun like a dream right off. It’s a joy to spin.
Lovely!
I think i bought that same bag or something very similar New Years day 2008.
That is a LOVELY spindle!
