I bet a coat knitted from that yarn would be incredibly warm.

would it stand up to the rain though ...

I got my drop spindle today and I really think you lot are naughty :lol: no one said it would be addictive ... I have alread don quite a bit of the newspaper spinning, a bit lumpy in parts but getting better as I go and doesnt it grow fast... the down side with the newspapers is the ink ... black hands.


Need some fibre now and I think it will be easier than spinning paper...

Can recomend the compay above somewhere that I ordered it from. Fast and a good quality spindle .. :flower:
