...Caveat - I have never spun, and never even tried!<br /><br />But I have been to the Carding Mill in Barrington, Nova Scotia, and your spindle is identical to mine, and the ones used in the machines there.<br /><br />So, I *think* this is a spindle for machines only, and that because of the lack of a weight to help it spin, it's not much good for hand spinning. However, Denny is the expert, and if it turns out my spindle can be used for hand spinning, I may be in trouble from a time management point of view!Kirsten N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09901124914258639144noreply@blogger.com
