We had not purchase a drop spindle yet and after studying the little maggie I thought it would be a great project for my girls(12 & 11) to make one. So we did. And later this week when our carders come in we will begin to card the fleece. We've already washed, rinsed, dried and pick it out. The girls are on pins and needles waiting to use their kick spindles. :-DYahKheenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04469114168680836935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365471112399145747.post-70793233430407016052010-10-02T03:24:42.653-05:002010-10-02T03:24:42.653-05:00I think my heart just broke a little :( I found yo...I think my heart just broke a little :( I found your site through a google search for the True Creations kick spindle.... $500!!!!!

I spin with my hand rather than my foot because it's more comfortable for me, but I can see how using the foot would be a bit faster.<BR/><BR/>The video of the woman using her hand looks a lot more awkward than how I use it. But I don't do the long draw like she does. That would seriously bother my shoulders (fibromyalgia.)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reviews. I love being able to compare them. I'm pretty happy with the one I've got though.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277981757643955577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365471112399145747.post-63479980636563737142008-11-15T12:26:00.000-06:002008-11-15T12:26:00.000-06:00Interesting!
