There is a lot to do with going wayyyyyyy back and letting the twist do the work. AND loosening the wool before the twist gets to it. It was VERY helpful to see and have someone show me how it looks when done right. You'll get it. And that wheel!! What a good price!!<br /><br />:)LisaHullabaloo Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922072857698305087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7650649438155050655.post-47258987564584441612011-04-02T23:38:22.425-04:002011-04-02T23:38:22.425-04:00I agree: drop spindle is a challenge to learn!
