I separated and pre-drafted the roving so I wouldn't have too much drafting to do while using the drop spindle.
I spun a leader and attached it to the drop spindle using this video as a reference.
Then, I spun a little to make sure everything was working. It was awkward, but I did make something that looks like yarn.
Yes, it's over-spun, thick and thin, but it looks nothing like the horribleness I created when I last used a drop-spindle. :-)
I think I'm ready to use only the drop spindle while I am out of town next week.
