I like my yarn to have a tighter twist than most yarn companies make them, so I’ve gotten in the habit of using homemade “yarn sticks”. Basically straight twigs with some kind of branch at each end to keep the yarn from sliding off. I can add the extra twist as I fill the stick, and the yarn stays pretty well without tangling.
At some point I intend to make a stand that holds the yarn sticks. It’ll probably look something like a paper towel dispenser, but for yarn instead.
I’m seriously considering making myself a spinning wheel. I looked at some on the market. A small spinning wheel, made from plywood so cheap it looked like cardboard, was $750!!!!
And this is exactly WHY I never complain about the crazy amount of $$$ Beau spends on hunting and our menagerie of hunting dogs.
You know, in case I WANT a $750 spinning wheel some day. ;)
