SPINDLING Method 2 - spinning art yarn from curly long wool locks on a drop spindle

In this single-ply drop spindling method we will be taking an assortment of locks from my stash and using our hands to prepare them for spinning a single-ply yarn. This creates a curly, bulky, raw yarn texture that is beautiful when used as a single ply or plied yarn. Plying this yarn with thread is one of my favorite textures to spin!
