My choice: blue, please!

ooooh, purple please!

other craftools might be: - an orifice hook (not for me, thanks, I have a Louet) - a contrastcloth for the spinners lap, one side dark, other side light.
- a bag too keep wool in or woolscraps

the next items are not for everyone but they say 'spinners tool' to me: - a large crochethook for those arty yarns - a sheepy pouch to hang on the spinningwheel for bits 'n bobs - a small notebook for spinning notes - a teamug? warm booties for spinning feet? a small bin for the dead bugs and short clippings that fall from my fleeces? calculator to make skeinwinding into meters and meters into yards?

any and all other suggestions very welcome :)

Excellent ideas, Redsquirrel. Think we could make a swap just out of the accessories. Sounds fun!

Oh-oh...you've got me started now. I just found out what a 'lucet' is.
