Been using this homemade spindle for a few months now, it's made of an old paintbrush handle, some Lego pieces as the whorl and a teacup hook I picked up from a hardware store.

Does anyone have a good resource on how to improve grist? the yarn pictured is 20 wpi, but I only got 200 yds out of 4 ounces. I want to soon for socks, but I feel like to get the yardage, the yarn would be way thinner than I want.1yr ⋅ sewballons ⋅ r/Handspinning

It’s ok to just spin and not care about perfection. Don’t worry about consistent and all that. Just spin because we like to spin and sometimes colors are pretty. That’s all that’s needed2yr ⋅ Seastarstiletto ⋅ r/Handspinning
