I have been spinning (on a spinning wheel) for years now, and it is an incredibly soothing activity. Not only that, it can generate money by selling hand spun yarn. In any event, the yarn is basically a truly unique product as hand spun yarn is specific to the individual who spins it in terms of how thick or thin, color, number of plys, etc. I was surprised, when I started some years ago, to find that there are many people who are carrying on this old trade – if you have stress in your life, spin, as it does produce a calming state. The process is easy after a short period of adjustment to the process (not a problem, trust me), and you can do it while watching TV. You may not get rich, but there is a market for hand spun yarn. Spinning wheels can be relatively inexpensive, or very costly – so there is a wheel for everyone! As they said in an old commercial on TV – “Try it . . . you’ll like it!”.

I resisted for some time, but you were right. I tried it and I liked it!
