From the wheel

My spinning journal.

Notes from my own wheel — finished skeins, fleeces in progress, the wheels I spin on, and the things that go right and wrong along the way. The personal side of Spindrift.

The guides are the how-to side of Spindrift: WPI, woollen versus worsted, washing a fleece. This is the other side — me actually spinning. I built Spindrift because I needed it for my own craft, and this is where I share what comes off the bobbin.

Each entry records what I spun and how, often with the numbers Spindrift kept for me along the way.

Coming soon

The first entry is on the wheel.

I'm spinning it now. Check back soon for the first skein, the fibre behind it, and the numbers that came off the bobbin.

The practical, step-by-step side of spinning lives on the guides blog.

Spindrift records the fibre, wheel, WPI, grist, and time for every skein you spin — so a favourite is never a one-off. Free to download.
