As a child going to different living history farms, I had seen women spinning on the big walking spinning wheels or the ones that are spun using a treadle I always found it fascinating but correctly assumed that getting a spinning wheel would be incredibly expensive. Recently I had been thinking about the times I had seen women spinning yarn and wondered if there was a cheaper way to get into it without having to spend hundreds of dollars on a wheel since I didn't know if I actually liked it as a hobby yet or not. Quick research I had discovered that yes! it was entirely possible to spin yarn without a hefty investment in a wheel by using a centuries-old device called a drop spindle.

I ordered one off Etsy that should be here soon. from the pictures, it looks absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to get started learning this new exciting skill.
