I'm Excited!

Because my mom just brought back from Florida... my Grandmother's old spinning wheel!! She brought it home in parts, which was pretty daunting, but after a lot of fiddling around, I got it put together... The only thing that I'm confused about now is where/how to put a tension string on it. It spins like a dream, but the spindle doesn't suck the yarn in to wrap around the bobbin.

What's a girl to do?

In other news, I also got a pair of hand carders and a new (old) drop spindle. Fibers tools galore!!

Here's something I doodled in photoshop while watching The Bachelorette.
