Maybe I just have a bad technique.

I do OK with RSI on the wheel. I'm actually worse with a drop spindle -- all that pinching messes with my forearm/wrist. Good luck. Ouch! I do OK with RSI on the wheel.

I got a wheel 3 weeks ago, and for the first time in my life I'm having RSI and carpal tunnel symptoms. I did spin on a drop spindle for about 6 months before.

I’ve been working/struggling with it off and on since then. In late September, I hit a yarn shop in Wheat Ridge and bought 7 ounces of dark brown baby alpaca top. (At least I think it’s top — I’m still learning the spinning lingo, and believe me, it is almost a full foreign language! It’s a batch of soft wool, combed into long strands; 7 ounces looked like a wig made of fuzzy hair smoothed barely into submission.)

There we go again.

Only yesterday I got my job contract renewed and I attribute that to my consistent practise of law of attraction, just like what you said about Law of Attraction in thrifty action. Am very glad to have gotten a revised salary through consistent practise of LOA. Visualise the outcome...thats what i did... Glad there are people like you who believed in this wonderful law...

Make sure you record your successes here as I'd love to try spinning out one day. My boss' mother has an antique wheel that I wanted but, alas, he won't part with it. haha Congrats on the great deal and I'm looking forward to seeing more fun stuff! That’s fantastic!

While I'm not a shopper and really have no reason to be here, I found your site interesting. The spinning wheel is, well, handsome! It is comforting to know there are people in the world who can make things without the use of electricity. With all the company mergers happening these days producing less and less competition, at some point we consumers may have to go on strike. Was surfing and came across your site.
