What are you spinning?

Hi! I'm Rebecca, I just joined Imzy, and I'm a spindle spinner almost exclusively. I do have a box charkha, but it's currently gathering dust.

I've recently finished an ounce of silk hankie in purple, white, green and yellow (like a crocus). Because silk is so strong, I did it thick-and-thin, and eventually it will be a narrow scarf, when I find the missing dowels for my rigid heddle loom. I've got my eternal white silk top project, currently on a featherweight spindle I made myself with a purple enamel cog for a whorl and a bamboo knitting needle for a shaft (for some reason, I always have a cobweb-weight white silk thread going, sort of my default project; one day I'll finish enough of it to send to a knitter friend, who will make a wedding ring shawl from it). For my purse project, on my tiny Jenkins Kuchulu Turkish spindle, a blend of wools, silk and sparkly stuff in grey, purple, pink and yellow, in a slightly heavier cobweb. (I go for really fine stuff. I'm weird like that. I hardly ever get enough spun to do much with, though. Stripes in larger projects. But that's ok, I weave Saori-style, and stripes of random colors are good there.) There's forever cotton on the box charkha, but I haven't touched it in months.
