spinning

I have a really cool friend named Ann. she lives on a farm and is really interesting. I met her through knitting. She gave me this.   she's trying to use up of some wool she bought a few years ago. And when I told her that i want to get better at my drop spindle before I buy a spinning wheel. (read save up for one) I didn't really know what to do with it until I searched Youtube. you saw the video on the post before right? I turned that fluffy cloud into a ball. then i proceded to spin it on the drop spindle not very well. but I will need to practice some more. After I finished that I got out some blue roaving my sister gave me and spun a small skein of lovely yarn. and I'm getting a little better I think. Unfortunately I was organizing my basket and found that my spindle is broken. So I need to get a new one I've been searching etsy and falling in love with tons of spindles. we'll see what I get after we get our tax return. If you have any suggestions leave them! I need a new spindle b/c I have a ton of wool from Ann to spin! I can't wait! She's so awesome I'm pondering sewing her a bag or something to thank her for her generosity! what do you think?
