Just 10 minutes a day..
Carole, just as she said she would, came up with this button the other day. Let's make it a movement, or at least a give it a try.. just 10 minutes a day, on your spindle or wheel. Or maybe just on the preparation of the fiber you'll spin next, a bit of predrafting. I think you'll be surprised at the results. It keeps the thought processes in motion. No rusty joints. No one will know if you join in or if you miss a day. Only you. Post the button on your side bar or not. But, give it a try.
10 minutes is perfect for test spinning a sample. Just sayin'..
the white alpaca I washed yesterday
alpaca / merino / silk carded together 2 ply
alpaca / merino / silk carded together 3 ply. Plied using the Andean ply on my spindle.

It really does work and I think it’s something about the mental process, just as you said.
Great idea! (nice button Carole!)
I once heard this about chopping fire wood …a little bit every day sure adds up 😉
Since Cummington, I’ve been spindling a bit each day…some baby camel/silk from halcyon, and it is working. I’m a better spindler than I have ever been now.
I started out well, but well……I need to re-start that plan. 🙂
Good for you! I want to do the 10 minute thing myself. I have a sweater’s worth of black alpaca and gray wool (both washed already!) that need to be carded together. I think small bites is the way to go…
