any other spinners here?
I spin but on a wheel, have not tried drop spindlles yet. I also have a couple of angora bunnies and am collecting from them to mix with wool and do a wool/angora blend yarn one of these days.

I like your carboard spindles, neat idea! :) My hubby is making spindles for me and my 2 sisters, I'll post pics when he's finished- the round piece (can't think of what it's called) is made of cedar that he and his dad harvested and made into planks, it is really pretty :)

Heh, heh, my first drop spindle was a potato and some pencils. Used the dog's slicker brushes. Hmmmm, brings back memories for sure!
