Yep, he did so with a very nice woman who was demonstrating and who let him try, and also on an electric spinner with the nice folks demoing it. I am sure he would love the latter, however, over $700 is a bit much to spend on a 4-year-old's crafty interests. He's getting a student drop spindle, tho.

I don't spin or knit or...and *I* wanted the electric one. Cheating or not, it looked marvelously easy and fun. Heh. Their willingness to engage my son and let him use it was also a bonus. I was impressed with the people as well as the tool. :)

That. Is. Awesome.

I have contemplated the electric spinners myself because sometimes it hurts too much to spin my drop spindle, but not too much to draft the yarn. I have not yet justified the expense, although I hear they are less expensive on eBay or if you make them yourself.
