I bought this drop spindle:
top-whorl-drop-spindle-double-whorl
And this roving:
domestic-56-wool-roving-8-oz
I used the spindle to do my handplied yarns, but the roving sat unused until earlier this week.
I'm not going to post a tutorial on how to do it, because there are a bazillion other tutorials out there and I watched many of them. But here is the finished product!

Wow - that's so cool. A friend taught me how to spin on a wheel and I liked it but I've never owned my own. That looks like fun but it would add about a year to each sweater if I had to spin 2000+ yards for each sweater.
