Thank you, have you tried spinning with a drop spindle?

@@TextileIndie ​no, but I'm looking at creating one very soon so I can learn...it certainly will take up less room than my Ashford spinning wheel

@@TextileIndie Thank you for making this tutorial! I am making a spindle (with no tutorial) but I think it will be too heavy and so break the wool strand. So I will start fresh with smaller diameter parts. What does this balsa wood spindle weigh? I will aim for that. Thank you!
