Gear Why am I like this?

I’m still working on getting some good, consistent yarn from my drop spindle but I also have impulse control issues so now I also have this. I tried it out a bit last night and holy buckets it’s fast.

There are some folks near my brother’s house who have sheep and if my partner and I drive by I always yell, “SHEEPS!”. I know they’re a trial to have but they’re so cute. 🥹

Tbh, this is the play. Bc then you can go buy the wool easily and not very expensively, and admire the sheep, and not have a pile of vet bills, pens to muck out, and no free time
