Astried was nice enough to encourage me and lending me her spindle (drop) to learn for the few first ones. She also sent some fiber leftovers to me so that i can play with them. It was fun.
I got a hang of it in a while and immediately spun quite "stable" yarn, but i still trying to understand the fiber behaviour. Some of the fiber i tried were long and sticky, some are short and "dry", or even long and bumpy. I dont know if my words are comprehendable, but alas! I started spinning.
I have yet to depart on my first full 100 gram spinning, but i have tried some fibers. I am not that good yet, but so willing to learn and now i am looking for sometime to squeeze the 100 gram spinning into my schedule.
I bought a cheap spindle. After i used them (both cost only US$ 15), i really like it! The wood is soft and stable. Really like the way it feels on my hands.
And, these are my first handspuns. Only 5-10 grams, not much, but i am learning.
Looking forward for more handspun projects.
