I think it looks more like a sheep than a dog! We are our own worse critics …
I’ve never seen anyone wrap yarn on a spindle like that. Usually, the yarn is wrapped completely around the ‘stick’ (or spindle) portion of the drop spindle like these:
That helps maintain the balance of the spindle allowing it to spin longer. When you want to put your spinning down, simply wrap your leader yarn around the hook a few times
None of the pictures are mine … it has been a few years since I took pictures of my spindling and it was a lot faster to grab pics from the web.
Your yarn is looking great!! With this type of natural spinning skill, you might want to consider taking the Master Spinner program from Olds College
