Open New Spindles With Me! 🎄 Vlogmas 6, 7, 8 & 9

I'm doing a little catch-up, so this video is like opening presents on Christmas morning. First we will see what the Twice Sheared Sheep Advent Calendar has in store for us in days 6-9. Then I'll give you an update on my vintage Christmas stocking. Finally, let's open some spindles Krevelli sent me to try.

we'd much rather you enjoyed vlogmas than wear yourself out doing it, so well done for listening to yourself and taking a break ❤ that second supported spindle looks absolutely gorgeous, i just got a new russian one so i am absolutely in the spindle zone rn lol

I love number 2 the dancer. I use to dance before I became disabled. dec 8th was my 59th birthday and I received a cricket rigid heddle loom and I cant wait to get back to weaving, something i began to learn as a child and loved it. here's to this old dog learning new tricks.

I love the dark wood of Nutty. Supported spindles make my heart sing.

I kept misplacing my needles until I got a needle box. Saved me.

I can't choose a favorite of the support spindles. They were all so beautiful and well-made. I appreciate your vlogmas episodes and agree that you should enjoy your holiday season without stress. Happy spinning!

[MrFrancistheButler]

As someone who is merely longing and dreaming of spinning her own yarn someday, I really liked the idea of the spindle that you called number one, metal tip (my own personal preference is to knit with thicker yarn). I can't wait to see what beautiful yarn you spin with all three!

[DrinknStitch]

I have just begun to learn spinning. It will be enjoyable to watch you play with these new ones!

[goodwitch]

Haven't watched your content in a while and I forgot how much joy you radiat and what a beautiful person you are inside and out! Watching your vids never fail to make me smile and my day brighter. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication and just being such a great person❤

[joolsa]

The dancing lady spindle is my favourite. You should card up whatever makes your heart sing at that moment but, personally, I hope whatever you chose has a bit of shine to it - we need all the light we can get in these dark winter days in the northern hemisphere!

[belindasilver]

I love all three spindles, but I believe dancer is my favorite. Thank you for sharing bits and pieces of your fiber life with us.

[marmaladeduck]

I'm sure picking a favourite is like picking a favourite child - you can't! There might be some you get on better with at some times, and others at other times ;)
They're all gorgeous, and I'm sure they'll all pair nicely with slightly different blends!
So good to see you enjoying vlogmas rather than pushing to get it all done and burning out. Wishing you a lovely christmas; may your spindles drop only sometimes and your yarn be well balanced <3

I've never spun on this type of spindle but I am so intrigued by it, and I love spindle #3!

[LadyWiggin]

Those are gorgeous spindles. I have to say “dancer” was my favorite. Great spin time and beautiful

[sadiesspincraft]

What a beautiful unboxing the dark brown support spindle is the "I like the look of." Thank you so much for sharing xx

[kcbryant]

I’ve been watching Engineering Knits as well. Seeing people process fleece and turn it into yarn is fun to me 😆. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of those double sided bowls, but it seems like a great tool. All of those spindles are beautiful! I liked the Nutty one even more after you pointed out that it resembles an acorn.

[Bobbieliz]

I love the dancer design (but all look so yummy I feel like I might drool!). I look forward to seeing you demonstrate one of these lovely spindles.

[heathertucker]

I have seen that company advertising their spindles and wondered what they were like! They all look so beautiful and the wood used is simply beautiful! I think my favourite is the Walnut nut shaped number 3 but I shall wait to see what you make of them and your favourite spin! Can’t wait for the video! Great unboxing episode today x

[nicolemalloy]

I've only used a very quick diy spindle. I'm fascinated by the way physics has an effect on the spindles! I would love to try any and all of them, and most of all I would love to experience the differences in how they spin.

[christman]

Dancer or Nutty - both look wonderful. I've never used a supported spindle - and there's another rabbit hole to fall in. 😊

[DeirdreAllen-bo]

All the spindles are gorgeous! Dancer is my favorite, I think, although I do like nutty, however the metal tip one would be fun to try. Oh gosh. They are all beautiful works of art. Can’t wait to see what you create with them.❤
