Beautiful!!!

Wheel or Spindle?? what kind??

It was spun on a drop spindle that hubby made for me. He made me a foot spindle too, but I prefer the drop.

Here's my etsy shop, and it tells what kinda of yarn each one is.

185 yards of woolen goodness.

The yellow is from roving from the Upper Canadian Village. I believe this is one of the last fiber mills that is still run by water. The roving was fabulous to draft! Was finally able to draft a whole bobbin using the one handed long draw (ala 'spinning for speed and softness')

What kind of fiber is it and how much for all of it? And does your hubby still make spindles? Id like a top whorl.

$70 for the lot. Yes, Paul still makes spindles.

I have some Angoras for sell right now. If you go to my website www.heavenlyspringsquarterhorses.com and look under Anogra Rabbits, you will see pictures. I have a woman coming to look at my Satin doe and two of the babies. I am going to be breeding my black English doe to my white English buck in a week. If all goes well, I will have babies for sale in August.
