Too bad it's not rent-to-own...

Spinning away on my rented Lendrum. It's owned by the Handweaver's Guild of Boulder, and I'm renting it for just $5/month. Can't beat that! I'll probably buy my own this summer when I take a spinning class. I've been really happy with it -- smooth spinning, nice tension, easy to transport. The Guild's wheel has a bag/backpack for it, which is extremely handy. Take off the flyer and bobbin (one pouch for that), flip up the treadles, insert, and you're on your way.

I'm spinning some roving that my mom had prepared a while ago. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with this yet. I forgot to check the wpi I got in my first two skeins, so you'll have to wait for it. (This is just so that I can keep my friends for a few more days...)

I'm mostly biding my time until I learn how to prepare the fleeces I bought. (Bought before I had a wheel. Bought before I knew how to spin. They sucked me in! It's not my fault!) More on fleeces tomorrow or so. Have a lovely weekend!

I love my Lendrum DT (with its own bag) and would indeed recommend it, the plying head and the fast flyer. The very fast flyer, not so much.

Poor you , seduced by the dark side of the fleece... Admit it -- you're loving it!

What a beautiful wheel. Your new knits are lovely. Kevin and Gracie had matching Marina's. It was so cute. Your mom is quite the knitter. We missed you.
