Here you have my first attempts at drop spindling in order from top to bottom. I spun those both this morning. I am in love with spinning and am trying to make myself NOT spin any more yarn LOL I only have 2 little rolls of roving left and I want to take time to go through and figure out what what to do better on the next spin before I go into it again. I can’t figure out how people draft with two hands and keep the spindle spinning. I did it more like one hand is holding the predrafted fiber and the other hand keeps the spindle going. I think I like that better. Thinking about how I want to ply it, if I am going to ply it at all. Suggestions? I was thinking a dark blue thread with the blue to give it that worsted look. It is S spun (clockwise) you know? I love that way more than Z spun.
