Today was the best mail day ever.
My Phat Fiber box came, and it is amazing.
Beautiful, incredibly soft batts came from my swap partner.
And my first spinning wheel arrived.
Technically, the week and a half I was out of town on vacation were several great mail days, but the point is, I got everything today. So it still counts as the best mail day ever. :-D I mean really. EVER.
Did I mention my wheel has a quill? Because my wheel... has a quill. And it's a big deal.
Because I learned point spinning first, and it's how I roll, baby. Don't get me wrong. I love "normal" wheel spinning, too. But I love speed and efficiency, and the prospect of being able to spin long draw a yard at a time as fast as I want without having to stop every 3 seconds to go backwards and wind on manually makes my inner point-spinning speed demon cackle with glee.
Also, no orifice = no restrictions on my art yarn. Hells yes. Because, hello? Restrictions? On art yarn? Unacceptable. And most spinning wheel makers don't seem to get that.
So, I haz a happy. In this wheel, I get a basic spinning wheel for a great price, and a travel wheel, and a charkha on steroids. All at the same time.
Three words:
Cheaper
than
therapy.
