My first love, knitting was quickly followed by dabbling in spinning with a little drop spindle I picked up at my local yarn store in college. I was immediately smitten with the idea that I could spin my very own yarn right there in my dorm room and the rest is history! Now, I have a Sonata Spinning Wheel in my craft room, several drop spindles and a funny little vintage spinning wheel that I can tote with me to the park (and yes, that’s definitely a thing I’ve been known to do occasionally). Now that I’ve started weaving in a serious way, I can’t wait to spin yarn specifically to use on my loom too! Whether you’re a beginner spinner, never tried your hand at it or are looking for an interesting book to add to your spinning library, we’ve got you covered with a round up of my favorite tools and books.
