Lace spindle love
I bought a beautiful Turned On The Cut spindle from someone's destash and had a great time spinning this yarn from a batt I carded at the Alpaca Spinner's Woolly Day the other month
I taught myself to chain ply on the spindle and had a play at using random fibres too
Some of the colour combinations make me feel rather uneasy.
I've got more similar colours to the stormy blue on the spindle at the moment which I'm hoping will give me a more useful yardage when combined. I've taught myself ply on the fly for this second spindle, but I'm beginning to think it's a great party trick, but it's possibly slower than forming the single, winding on and plying as there so much swapping about
