So, what was all that fuss about? What is this Lendrum infatuation nonsense, you ask? I can imagine my non-spinning readers really have no idea what I’m so excited about, so I just have to take a moment to share. This is my Lendrum…
It has big knobs for easy adjustments…
And beautifully simple mechanisms…
And this nifty tattoo…
And why is a Lendrum a big deal? Well, because it takes a complicated tool and makes it as simple as possible, because it has a loop instead of hooks, because it spins so effortlessly, and because it simply caresses the yarn from my fingers. And because THIS is what my spinning looks like on a Lendrum…
How do you like THEM APPLES?!?

The fiber, if you’re wondering, is not from my shop. It’s some merino roving I picked up at MDSW last year from the lovely Dancing Leaf Farm — and very nice it is too!
Stumble it!
so glad you’re so happy..
Very nice! I didn’t know the Lendrum has a moveable loop instead of hooks. Before I got rid of my hooks I accidentally split my plied yarn a couple times by mis-hooking it and getting it between the plies.
Your spinning is gorgeous, btw – wish I could get it that thin!
Haha! Love all the pictures!
oooh, that wool is beautiful!
The Toddles and I happily admired the spinning wheel – he’s gearing up for his first visit to a local yarn store. I think I’m in love with yarn: it’s fun to play with, and the folks in the store *expect* you to touch everything. It’s the perfect Toddles store!
