Not sure I'd call it yarn tbf 😂 it's my first attempt at my wheel, two small bundles of sample fibres, very thick and lumpy but I'm looking forward to trying to use it for something!
I've got more smaller samples and a couple of tops to try next, can't wait to get a little better!
For the last few months I felt like I've been losing my mind...
Mood swings from hell, rage at anything, heart palpitations, anxiety attacks, dizziness, shaky, waking up multiple times, restless legs, GI issues and now sore jaw and stiff neck - I'm running out of swear words really how shit it has been recently.
I think the worst has been health anxiety though - every little symptom becomes a serious, life threatening thing in my hormone frazzled brain and I am so, so tired of this rollercoaster!
I've got a GP call tomorrow and I'm planning to ask for HRT - I really hope it'll help with at least some of this mess...
It really helps knowing I'm not alone though - thanks to all here for sharing your experiences.
I'm so excited to have joined this reddit and the spinning community - I've picked up my second-hand spinning wheel today and I can't wait to get properly acquainted with it. It seems to be in decent working order, if needing a bit of oil and wax.
I'm a knitter and a new spinner, tried drop spindle and I'm loving it so when this wheel came up for sale, I decided to give it a go.
If anyone has any specific tips or experience with Shetlands they can share, I'd appreciate it!
