One of the things that I need to learn is to spin. With having an Angora goat, I need to do something with all that wool. I am a crocheter and always need yarn. So, my daughter and I went to the opening of a new fiber store in Wamego Kansas.
I learned to spin on a spindle. The owner told me this was what I needed to learn first. Not an easy thing to do. I continue to practice, but not doing very well.

I tried a spindle and it was a good experience to learn the drafting concept but you will be so happy when you move on to a wheel. It's far less frustrating. I have a Louet S10 and love, love, love it!
You might also need to add at least 10% wool to the mohair if you are spinning for projects. Mohair doesn't have the memory wool does.
Good luck and have fun!!!! ...and welcome to the fold!
Yellow Jacket,
You are so kind. I got to try a Louet S10. It was wonderful. I had heard that I needed to had a little wool to the mohair. But, did not realize it was because of memory. Thanks for the advice.
