This week I bring you the next review of my five new NiddyNoddy Spindles. This spindle handled both my fine and coarser wool very well. The deep spiral notch meant there is no need for a half hitch and it works very well for suspended or semi-suspended techniques as well as grasped spinning.
The packaging that I was spinning is Lleyn, which is a welsh meat breed. Neil from Niddy Noddy mentioned that a lot of wool of this quality is buried or burned due to the nature of the wool industry in the UK which is a shame as it is a good usable wool.
This spindle weighs 10g which is lighter than the first spindle I reviewed, and while it went ok with my lightweight 6g whorl I preferred it with my 20g whorl.

Hi!
I just wanted to say that I love your youtube videos. I don’t have a youtube account, but I do follow them closely. I check back in every so often to see if you’ve posted a new one.
I also love your blog. I’ve loved it for sometime so I’ve finally decided to subscribe via my two emails (in case one doesn’t work, which sometimes happens.)
I also greatly admire your knowledge, and I hope to become as good as you are at spinning.
Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your kind comments! As a reenactor I’ve benefited from the generosity of others sharing their skills an research so I feel by sharing what I’ve learned I’m giving back.
Thank you for this blog and your videos! I am a spinner and I love the variety of spindle spinning. Recently I became interested in medieval and distaff spinning and your posts and videos have been a big help. At the moment I’m practicing spinning medieval style with a hand distaff, but I will have a go at the belt distaff as well. Happy spinning!
Thank you so much for your comment, I love your blog post and video on spinning you’ve posted recently as well. Thank you for sharing!
