We recently returned from a long road trip, and on the trip I spun when I wasn’t driving. I love it. I can put it down with a few seconds warning, there are no dropped stitches when we go over bumps in the road, it keeps my hands busy, is productive, and calms my soul.

Plying is also possible if I do a 2-ply and use both ends of a ball of single ply (inside and outside ends). I prefer a top whorl spindle to ply, which I happened to pack as my backup spindle. I did not rinse or set the twist with water for any of the spinning, instead relying on time to do the magic.

I love it so much, that I think I will keep fiber and a spindle in a shoebox in the vehicle, for those parked and waiting moments that occur so often.
