buff, you can easily make your own spindle, top or bottom whorl! A piece of dowel, a cup hook, some electrician's tape or "hundred mile an hour" tape, a couple scratched cd's and you're ready to go:)

itsy, is that a Louet bobbin?!? I don't mind spinning unwashed alpaca or llama, its a bit messy but so soft I can't take the time to wash it first;) I do like washing greasy wool lock by lock and spinning it right up without carding (doin that w/shetland). Am hand carding Icelandic wool for...

Spend more time doing what you love instead of reading all those posts that upset you, that's what I have been doing and its a good time to get ready for winter, too. Have a cup 'a tea, too:) Hugs, Cheryl
