I'm making a New Spinner packet for my friend/coworker who has wanted to learn to spin for years. I'll also be throwing in a 1oz/28g batt and a bigger drop spindle that will be a very good beginner plying spindle, but this is just the basics.
My old cross arm spindle--the very first spindle I ever got. Her partner does woodworking so I'm hoping they can make her a nicer shaft because I broke the original years ago, but the chopstick absolutely works.
And then 1 rolag (made by me), and a bit of batt that came as an extra, and then a bit of roving that came as an extra as well. I figured its good to try many different preps and see what one prefers (as well as see the different effects each prep gives on the finished yarn).
And I also had to make a second rolag to try out, in case they were no good. Very nice to spin :)
