Spindling??? I can hear you asking with a
confused look on your face.
Spindling is what people did before spinning wheels were invented.
It is an amazing past time, spindles are much cheaper than wheels and more portable.
While I don't know that I would want to spin enough to knit a jumper, they are fantastic for producing unique yarns to use in your felting projects.
Find you are one of those people who can't meditate, then take up spindling, it is great for the soul.
The bad thing about spindling, it's addictive and you can never have enough spindles!!!
