Spinning wheel and new fun

My new to me wheel has been completed and fixed for a couple of days now. I am very happy with her. She is wonderful. So fun to try out some fibres. I am still playing with it but already made 3 skien of yarns! (It is also 2plied!!)

I was so tempted to leave her out but since our movers are coming to pack tomorrow, I tidied up my spinning supplies and put the wheel away in the room where my baby won't go in.

I have to say, spinning is almost as much fun as weaving... maybe more... I think it is just personal preferences but I do enjoy the treadling. So glad that I installed double treadle kit because this makes a whole lots of difference.

So here is my new spinning friend!

What a mess!

I bought inexpensive vintage rigid heddle loom. It's 25" weaving width and looks like a simple loom. But when I tried to warp my yarn, this happened. Like, how could this happen? How can I fix it? Spent so much time untangle some but doesn't look like I've done some.
I guess it's a learning experience...
