Anyone in the Milwaukee area that would be able to help me get started with a drop spindle?! I have a the spindle and roving, but issues getting past 8-10" from the spindle lol  .
Thank you!

Jamie snorted briefly and picked up a needle and a ball of yarn.
“It’s no verra difficult, Sassenach. Look- this is how ye cast up your row.”
Drawing the thread out through his closed fist, he made a loop round his thumb, slipped it onto the needle, and with a quick economy of motion, cast on a long row of stitches in a madder of seconds. Then he handed me the other needle and another ball of yarn. “There – you try.””

Hello, Your not the only one in the area. I am outside of West Bend and there is a lady up here that would teach you. Small world I grow up in New Berlin. My parents still live there and I am there once a week. My mom had knee replacement done and I am helping her out. Maybe we could met some day. Where are you in New Berlin?

Hello Betty Jo!! Thank you so much for reponding to my post!! I was able to take a lesson through Village Spinners, a spinning guild out of Just 4 You in Oak Creek.
It really IS a small world! :) We live near Racine and National. How is you Mom doing since having knee replacement done?
When will be this way again?

And if He doesn't turn their hearts, May He turn their ankles, So we will know them by their limping.

How are you doing using your drop spindle? I'm trying as well and can not get to far on it..

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

I actually went on YouTube and found lots of videos that were a BIG help!!! It's not another farmgirl. But you could make a cup of tea and pretend. =)
