An Anne Grout handmade spindle. I have tried it out, and it spins beautifully. Isn't it lovely?A cute little Strauch mini doffer/flicker. So sweet, so portable.
Nestled in a cloud of Wensleydale. Famed for its sheen and its ability to take dye....it was on my "to try" list, and now I can!
A wrist distaff from Greensleeves Spindles, complete with a wpi gauge on the handle. I was about to make myself a wrist distaff cause I have had ---ahem---some tangled fibers. Well, no more! And this one is a beauty. Much prettier than mine would have been.
And a precious bag of Buffalo Gold Roving. What fun I will have playing with this downy bundle! Somehow it just reminds me of my father.....Thank you and three cheers for Beth, owner of The Spinning Loft.
She can put together a winner of a package! I look forward to sharing a state with her in a month, and maybe I'll even get to visit her store some day!

I'm glad you like the stuff and I hope to meet you in person as soon as the move is over and everything is more comfortable.
That is an awesome package! Sorry I didn't post back sooner- we've had 4 of us sick the last week and a half. I had already updated the address on the blog so it really is just four munchkins. You are a braver soul than I for having six! Though, my older daughter just started preshcool and I realized in four more years (and it goes by fast!) I'll be alone.... strange thought. I guess I'll have to go back to school myself then :)
Your alpaca bag looks wonderful as well.... nice work!
What a great package! Such wonderful things! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun spinning with that lovely stuff.
Will definitely tell Beth howdy from you tomorrow.
Wow! Neat stuff! Where do you find those Ann Grout spindles? I want one!!! I googled and couldn't find anything.
I'd not seen a wood wrist distaff before, it's beautiful! At first I thought it was a lovely nostepinne, it looks like it could double as one if the ribbon comes off easily.
