DH is a woodworker. He's making bobbins and orifice hooks. These are handturned on a lathe out of cherry, mahogany, walnut, and maple. Please contact me if you're interested.

You need a wheel! Or at least a drop spindle. What do you do with the wool if you don't spin it?freemotion said:Those sure are pretty! I have lots of wool but no wheel....

No, I can't say that I do. I have a very basic spindle that was made by the DH of the woman who gave a one day spinning class. I'm kind of wondering if something more attractive my inspire me more?mrbstephens said:Henrietta23 said:
I wouldn't want to custom order anything but if he made some I'd love to look and think about it if that makes sense?- Thread starter

Um.....the dirty wool is in bags on my porch and in my garage....mrbstephens said:You need a wheel! Or at least a drop spindle. What do you do with the wool if you don't spin it?freemotion said:Those sure are pretty! I have lots of wool but no wheel....
I think most of it is too short to spin but I want to make a really, really warm duvet for our king-size bed and maybe a couple of pillows. I do have a drop spindle made by someone who used to be regular here....woodwizard...still lurking out there, fella? 
Gotta get that fleece washed. I've been having some difficulty with it. I was in TSC today and forgot to look for Orvus. I think I'll go through gallons of Dawn without getting the darn stuff clean. I let it sit too long, I think.
