Comment on the Woolcombs by Roger Hawkins
“Hi Roger,
Just a note to let you know how much I’ve used and enjoyed
your combs this year. (And I always thought my Louets were the greatest.
Guess it was a blessing in disguise that I lost them). You’ve
got a super product, beautifully made, and far superior to manufactured
“things” punched out one right after the other out of
cheap goods meant to last no time at all. Thanks to you, I have
an heirloom just like the workhorses of yore.

Hi,
Just had to write to tell you my spindles just arrived! OH MY GOODNESS.
They are such beautiful things. Now I understand how people become
captivated by them. Thanks for the great service and the time spent
on the phone helping me choose which spindles to buy right now.
As soon as I saw them I thought I must have a Dervish!! The yarn
sett gauge is lovely as well. I'm gushing I know but I have no exposure
to such lovely spinning things here on the island. I would think
I'd died and gone to heaven if I were to step foot inside your shop.
Now off to do some spinning.
thanks
Glenda
Hello,
I didn’t get the name—a failure on my part—of
the lovely woman who answered my call last week and who took my
order for a Tom Forrester spindle. I asked for a Linum Fancy spindle
and she suggested the pink ivory one, and another. I chose the pink
ivory one, sight unseen. It arrived promptly. I just want to tell
her how very extraordinarily pleased I am with the spindle. It is
not only lovely, as she said, but it spins like a spinner’s
dream.
From another source, I had just recently purchased my first Forrester
spindle, a Granny Fancy with an imbuya whorl and rock maple shaft.
With that spindle I was an instant fan of Tom Forrester’s
work. All I had to go on regarding the Linum was the black &
white Gemini ad in Spin Off magazine. I need not have any worries.
The spindle choice was perfect. Thanks so much.
I have been a spinner/weaver/knitter for 30 years. I live on my
family farm in the SW corner of Kansas, USA, where four generations
of us have lived and grown up. I have always had to supply my fiber
arts passion via mail order as the nearest fiber shop is 400 or
more miles away and no one here has the foggiest idea about what
it is that I do.
So, thanks, again. The next time I decide that I can’t live
without another Tom Forrester spindle, I will give Gemini Fibers
another call.
