I have some more news, but wanted to give it it’s own space, not put it in with the daisy salve…
I got a new spindle! From Xiane at Three Ravens! She is going to have a Feature coming up in a bit…. at first I thought I wait until then with telling you all, but I just can’t.
I love this little spindle so much! It spins like a dream! It’s a support/bead spindle and it looks amazing! She also sent me some YAK fibre with it, so I could try it out the minute I got it out of the packaging! And guess what? That is EXACTLY what I did…
I think I let the pictures speak for themselves! I got 62 yards of wonderfully, soft, luxurious laceweight Yak yarn out of the fiber she sent! THANKS XIANE!!!
If you ever wanted a bead spindle: Go get it a Xiane’s! I swear you won’t regret it. I am waiting for her to make more, so I can get another one.
I want one with a bronze bead on it…Yep, She got me single-handedly back into collecting them. I thought I was over it when I lost my collection, but I guess once hooked, you can’t get away…
Ok now. Here are pictures!
I did get it with some cotton in mind that I got in an auction on Listia. so off with me, back to spinning! 🙂
Very cool, never seen one like that. Shiny is a plus! 🙂
I just happen to notice a lady bug on my shoulder today. I had heard its a sign of good luck. Hope so cuz I sure could use some right now. 🙂
Yes, where I come from ladybugs, chimney sweeps and pigs are a sign of good luck, along with clovers 🙂 You should check out support spindles! They are fun to use!
The yak yarn looks soooo soft! And I am thrilled that you like the spindle – you made my day. ❤
Wow, how exciting. Maybe a new collection is exactly what you need!!!! You deserve everything good. You are an awesome, giving person. Thanks for sharing….:)
That spindle is wayyyyy too pretty to put away!!!!! Show it off!!!! ♥

YAYY 🙂 You rock too and I am glad you’re my friend Louise! 🙂 I have the spindle hung up by my shelf, since they would warp otherwise (Just in a vase or so) I will have to figure out a cool way to display them….
Oh, a nice, beet stained wooden wall hung peg coat rack, and hang them off the pegs…..like the Amish hang candles…..oh, the vision is there, just can’t come up with words for a better description…need more coffee….:)
I totally know what you are talking about! That would be SO COOL! 🙂 Will look into this! 😀 Thanks for the idea!
