I finally got the rubber grommets I needed to make a CD Spindle this past Saturday. So I went to Lowe’s and picked up some dowels, which Lowes was nice enough to cut down for me, and some cup hooks. My current employer told me I was welcome to use their older CDs if I would make sure that the information would not be usable – so I used sand paper and sanded the underside of the CD. Free is always good :).

The ball of yarn is one that I did with the same “waste not want not thrum“. It had a bit more turquoise in it than the rest of the thrum. It was spun on my spinning wheel and I’m spinning some on the spindle now. It has come out as a novelty yarn because of the bits of yarn that was mixed in. It’s soft and a fun spin. I’m spinning it to show a friend that is having a hard time getting even yarn, that thick and thin is ok :).
Have fun with the CD spindles. I really like mine, although I don’t use it too much.
