What Is Your Favorite Spindle?

No, this isn’t a new Monty Python movie. It’s feeling like spring here in Michigan and there is something about spring that makes me want to spin on a spindle.

Maybe it’s the run-away-to-the-woods feeling I get when the weather changes, or I get convinced that I can spin a sweater’s worth of yarn on a spindle like Sarah Swett.

When the weather starts warming up, I dust off my spindles and spin on them. I also dream about adding to my spindle flock. I have about 40 right now, some I use a lot. Some I don’t use very much, but wouldn’t get rid of them because they have too many memories wound up on them (see what I did there?).

Do you spindle spin all year round, or just at certain times? Do you have a favorite spindle? A favorite thing to spin for on a spindle? What spindle should I get this year?
