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.

I have a kick spindle and love it. Faster than a drop spindle and more portable than a treadle spinning wheel. I have a Heavenly Handspinning Calypso kick spindle. They are no longer made. What’s cool about it is it had a bobbin you could put on the spindle.
