Hand-carded cotton punis
A tiny sample 2-ply skein spun on an akha spindle. I found spinning singles on this spindle a bit difficult (spindle kept dropping!), but plying was pretty easy. Also, I hand-carded the cotton punis, which were a pure delight to spin. 9 yards light fingering weight. Cotton sliver from New World Textiles.

These spindle berries are really impressive.
My 3 year old giving this cute little spindle a whirl. She does look downright professional in doing so :-)
§P¡NdLe is a [project|object] that [combines|confuses] skateboarding with music. The [movement/acceleration] of the skateboard is being transformed into sound synthesis. The sound engine is designed to be both, trivial and non-trivial. The [trivial|direct] translation acts as an additional channel to your mind-body coordination while the non-trivial aspect is there to provide the skateboard with a [memory|internal states] of your ride. It will add up to a climax as long as the movement of the skateboard does not contain too much noise.
