Bon achat pour commencer à filer; je suis vite arrivée à lâcher le fuseau pour soigner mon ruban de mêche avec mes deux mains, sans soucis de tension sur le fil, puisque le fuseau est porté, s' est idéal pour commencer la technicité. Le poids aussi correspond au suivi d' ajustement du geste; c' est très flatteur plus qu' encourageant, je dirais même, ces fuseaux portés.
