You've seen beautiful handspun yarns. You've lusted after the staggering variety of fibers and colors available to spinners. You've gone to a local spin in or fiber fest and drooled over the fibers, longing to join in with the other spinners.
But, you ask, isn't spinning expensive? Spinning wheels are big and cost a lot of money. Your house is already overrun by yarn. How can you justify adding spinning to your list of fiber obsessions...I mean, hobbies? You know you want to, though. You just can't help yourself. The good news is that spinning doesn't have to be an expensive hobby to start. A few ounces of top and a drop spindle are all you need, along with someone to show you how to do it.

Do it. It’s fun and a nice change of pace when you want to play with fiber but can’t or don’t feel like working on your other yarny pastimes. If you can’t make our classes here in the shop, we have how to videos on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/AlpacaDirect. Our new buying guide for spinning might also be helpful for you.
