Best #spinning question at the airport. Of my Jenkins Lark, a cross-arm spindle, a man asks, "Do you do that just for therapy?" It's totally therapeutic but I spin to make yarn for #knitting #weaving. Asking like that about #spindlespinning is welcome.

Pre-boarding we #spin. I brought my Jenkins Lark with a SIP of merino/bamboo. Just as soon as I finish the ☕. #spindlespinning
Quite happy with the outcome of my first spindle spun wool. Plying was great fun! Next I will turn this into an Autumn/Winter hat for the partner 😀.

Cloth as currency?
I want to retire and have time to really research topics like this. So cool and interesting.

Gosh I love this spin. I'm supposed to be working on a Christmas stocking but the yarn is unpleasant and I keep being seduced by this delightful baby alpaca instead. And remember - the spindle in the picture is only about four or five inches tall, so the yarn I'm spinning is very fine!
