I got 2 bags of sparkly, brightly-colored art batts (wool, silk, and angelina) at a fiber festival at the beginning of June, and I just finished spinning all of them today (it doesn't take months to do, but I cut my finger in mid-June and had to take a break from fiber arts for a while). Now the singles need to rest, then I can ply them, then they'll be yarn! And then I can knit something very happy with them and maybe have it done in time for winter.
I would like to see that whole machine some time. That looks fascinating.
It's a Schacht Flatiron; Schacht is, I believe, the largest American spinning wheel manufacturer. https://schachtspindle.com/products/flatiron-spinning-wheel?variant=45418176250151 I really like it. My first wheel was a Majacraft Pioneer (NZ made).
