what spindles are people using?

bagpuss · what spindles are people using?

I have a very basic spindle which came in kit from hello yarn. It is a top whorl and i like that (not that I've tried a bottom whorl) and was looking to get another. I would like something that is slightly more asthetic (sp) and also a larger spindle for plying. I have seem some nice cascade ones but it would mean getting them sent from US. Does anyone know of any reasonable priced spindles available in UK?

YES!!!
Have a look at my blog (link below, it's the one which doesn't say blog!). I posted about this yesterday. How's that for coincidence.
Sublime Spindles are great.
Learn to do Andean plying and you won't need a plying spindle though, and you'll be completely self-contained, not other equipment required.

Thanks n. I am definitely looking into getting one of those. They are lovely. I will also look into andean plying. I still very new to spinning.
